CONDSEA FOR LOST CRAFT, BUT IN VAIN
Hope Abandoned for B on Conestoga After Ships and Airplanes Seach 300,000 Square Miles of
 the Pacific.

Washington, May 30.--The naval tug Conestoga, lost in the Pacific for more than two months, appears to be destined to do down with the now famous Cyclops in the list of untold sea disasters.
 The Navy Department, holding out rather forlonr hopes, refues to gazette the Conestoga as lost with her crew of fifty-three men. Tho surface and air craft are still searching, it was an nounced last night that more than 300,000 square miles of the Pacific have been swept by destroyer squad rons, cruisers and fleets of aircraft.
 Since March 25, when the little tug put out of the Mare Island navy yard and plowed down San Francisco Bay on it's ill-fated voyage, no word has been heard from the vessel. For nearly three weeks the Pacific has beer lcombed. more than forty naval vessels having been under orders to seek the missing vessel or any trace of it. Searching parties have gone ashore and tramped thru the jungles of many of the tropical islands on the Pacific in hope that the missing crew might be found marooned in some deseri place.
 Only Two Possible Clews.
 To date only two clews have beer uncovered, and slender clews they are --an overturned lifeboat and pair oi navy dungarees. The lifeboat, which had been in the water about two months, was picked up by the steam. ship Senator off Manzanilla. The let ter "C" was on the boat, but maya records have thus far failed to show that it was part of the equipment of the Conestoga.
 The pair of blue undress trouser. were picked up by a searching party on the Island of Guadalupe near what had apparently been the camp of some stranded party. Stamped in the dun garees was the name H. J. Henderson Navy records show that H. J. Tender son is stationed at the Great Lake: training station. Investigation has failed to show that dungarees, issued to Henderson, may have been trans ferred to member of the crew of tho lost ship.
 A "Crusoe Tale" Only Hope.
 No vessel has reported sighting the craft, and it is believed that she must have been forced far from the regular ocean paths by some mysterious mis hap.
 Naval men here, however, still pro fess to hold out hope for the Cones toga. But they admit that, unless ths ship has been wrecked and her crew landed on some Robinson Crusoe isle she must soon go on the seas mys 1 terv roll.
