officers and men at the navy ward IN
Brooklvn were still hoping Yesterday that
the missing tug would he heard OF again.
They advanced many reasons for the an
sence of news. The possibility of her pro
reller being damaged or her machinery dis
abIed would account, they said, for her IN
ability to resist the wind while with a sea
anchor out and riding TO il she might be
blown leagues out of her course and drift
helplessly until repairs could be made or
she was sighted by some other ship
II was also pointed out that even il she
had been overwhelmed by a wave and
swampcd there was a chance of some of
her boats or deck fittings being torn loose
and set adrift, and the fact that no trace
Of wreckage from her had been reported by
the searching ships gave a peg, although a
slender one, on which 10 hang the hope
that she was still afoat.
It was said at the navy yard that the
Apache. the Pontiac and the Culgoa would
keep ND their search, and that the efforts
TO find the missing tug or some trace of
her would not he abandoned until she was
found or there was no possibility Of doubt
that she had gone to the bottom.
