STANLEY P. HYATT DIES. 

Author of "Little Brown Brother" Succumbs in London at 37. 

Stanley Portal Hyatt, the author, died on Tuesday at his home in Sydenham, London, England, at the age of 37. 
He was graduated from Dulwich College. Before he attained his majority he went out to Australia and after 
working on a sheep ranch in New South Wales he went to Matabeleland at the time of the rinderpest. He went in
for trading, and at the age of 22 was the largest native trader in Mashonaland and always maintained a number
of caravans on the road. In addition to his trading he owned large herds of cattle.

Hyatt was employed by the Portuguese at this time to make explorations in the central part of Mozabique, and
on his return found that his cattle business had been destroyed by a new disease, which had wiped out his herds.
He then wandered through the East, and when the Philippine war broke out, enlisted in the United States Army
and was the only Englishman to serve through the campaign.

In 1905 he returned to England and took up literature. After a bitter struggle he Was successful with his
first novel, "Marcus Hay." Following this he wrote the "Little Brown Brother" dealing with the Philippines,
which made him well known in this country.
