Sailing from Barbadoes in the

ment OF 295 men, the greatlg 900,
ton naval collier has not since been
sighted OF reported. BY order OF the
navy department all available navy
craft IN southern waters have been
making dragnet search for tho ves-
sci, but daily the conviction among
officials grows stronger that the
great modern mystery OF the sea Will
remain unsolved.
But the search for the ship still is
maintained with unabated intensity
Cruisers and destroycrs have re-
traced her route. Every island
among the scores that dot that por-
ton OF the sea is being carefully
scrutnized for any clew. But the
unremittlng anxiety Of the senrchers
has failed to disclose any trace OF

NO PLAUSIBLE THEORY
FOR DISAPPEAItANCE.
To account for the diHappearano
Of the Cyclops there have been sug-
ceGted many theories--all possible,
mono entirely plausible.
Was she blown into fragments by
heavy charge OF explosives placed
IN her hold before she left port
This explanation In hardly acceptable
because wreckage would have COW
cred the sea for many miles around
WAS she torpedoed and sunk
without trace" by German sub
marine that had crossed the Atlantic
to prey on comparatively unpro-
teoted shippingY That theory is dis-
counted, because In such cnse at
least few 8. o. s. calls could have
been sent out before the Cyclops
went under. Moreover, floating
wreckage certainly would have been
found.
Was she attacked and captured by
NJ marauding enemy raider that had
slipped into the Atlantic after elud-
ing the British fleets? Even II at

In view OF all the known circum-
stances the explanation is accepted |
by most naval officials as the most |
probable account for the disappear

The Cyclops although OF deep |
draft and broad beam, carried re-
high and heavy super !

lowered over her hull, and there was |
other heavy framework placed above
decks to give her maximum of of- |
