MYSTERY SHIP IS
BEING SOUGHT BY
COAST MARINERS
Pirate Vessel, Reported by Mum
son Liner, Object Of Quest
Along Seaboard.
BY international New. Service.

Mariners on all Atlantic shipping
lanes were keeping an eye open to-
day for traces of the mystery ship"
reported by the officers OF the Mum
son liner Munalbro, which officials
believe may be responsible for the
disappearance OF more than a score
of vessels in recent months.
While theories by the score have
been advanced concerning the fate OF
the missing vessels. the one most gen.
orally adhered TO by officials here is
the piracy theory. There is some
tangible basis for the pirate theory
while the others have little basis ex-
cept conjecture and opinion.
The one piece OF concrete evidence In
the hands OF the authorities is
the bottle message picked up on the
North Carolina Coast from the
schooner Carol A. Deering, stating
that the vessel had been taken by
pirates.
Officials were inclined today to link
up this message with the strange
vessel reported by the Munalbro's
officers. At least. they said. IL was
corrobative evidence that there are
mystery shlos sailing the we'll
known shipping lanes.
