EX-SAILOR THROWS NEW LIGHT
ON SINKING OF u. S. S. CYCLOPS
Former Member of Grew Believes Collier
Was Deliberately Destroyed With Aid
of Germans on Board.

The diary entries revealed Q story Of
how the writer with four others packed
dynamite around the engine of the
Cyclops and tried to escape to a Ger
man vessel in q small boat before the
explosion. Two Of them, according TO
the diary, did reach the German YES
sci. The writer of the diary, supposed
to be the chance acquaintance Of the
Marine, never HAS been found.
On the other hand, the German adj
miralty after the war said they knew
nothing Of the sinking of the Cyclops
and that no German submarines were
operating in West Indian waters or
along the Atlantic Coast when she
vanished.
No authenticated wreckage has been
found. Lieut.. James M. Hays, navi-
eating officer on the collier Orion,
sighted circular life preserver and a
life raft, which he believed belonged
to the CyclopS a month after she had
disappeared. He reported to the
captain of the Orion, but the latter
refused to put the ship off her course
to pick up the preserver or raft.
Ran Int Storm.
In February, 1920, Donald Fraser Of
Chicago reported to the Navy Depart
ment that on Gun Key, in the BAHIA
mas, he had found the wreckage Of
life boat on which was stenciled "U.
s. Cyclops." He also reported what
appeared to be the sunken hull of q
ship 1000 yards off the key. Naval
Investigators failed to find the reported
hull.
The thing that has most impressed
the Navy Department to date is the
report of Capt. E. c. billiard Of the
Amalco, who sighted the Cyclops on
March 9, 1918. He reported that on
the following day he ran into the
heaviest blow he ever had encountered
and ended with these significant words:
IF I had been carrying manganese
ore, I could not have survived the
gale"
