possibly the British steamer Orissa
has been sunk or captured by Ger
man commerce raider in the Atlantic.
Officers Of the various lines say
they had no confirmation of the re-
port in shipping circles. To add to
the mystery, cable messages to Lon
don correspondents asking yerifica-
ton of the report from the Orissa's
owners remained unanswered.
Local Offices Of the Pacific Steam
Navigation company, owners OF the
Orissa, said that the liner had not
been heard from since she sailed from
Rio De Janeiro on January 10. She
was due to reach Lisbon, Portugal, on
January 26, but no word of her ar
rival was received here. She was
due to reach Liverpool February l,
but word of her arrival at that port
was also lacking. It was pointed out
that possibly the Orissa encountered
a severe storm and was badly Grip
pied, delaying her arrival at Lisbon.
She carried probably not more
