293 ABOARD SHIP BELIEVED LOST
(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. April 15. Orders for greater efforts to find the missing naval . collier Cyclops, overdue from South American water for more than a month, went today to American ships. In addition, allied naval crafts on patrol duty In the south, are aiding In the search. So far not one word has come to clear up the mystery of the collier's disappearance. Secretary Daniels said today, however, that he still clung to the hope that the vessel would report as. many other navy ships-have done after they had been given up for lost. The collier carries fifty-seven passengers, fifteA officers and. 221 men in her crew, and has been overdue at an Atlantic port since March 13. The Navy Department announced that she was last reported at a West Indies Island March 1 and that extreme enxlety is entertained asto her safety. The vessel was bringing a cargo of manganese from Brazil. Alfred L. Moreau Gottsscalk, United States consul general at Rio De Janeiro, was the only civilian among the passengers on the collier, the others being two naval lieutenants and fiftyfour naval enlisted men returning to the United States. The Cyclops was commanded by Lieutenant Commander G. W. Worley, United States Naval Reserve force. '
The Cyclops left the West Indies with one of her two engines damaged, but the department said this fact would not have prevented her from communicating by radio and all efforts to reach her by that means have been unsuccessful. A thorough search of the course which she would ave followed in coming to port has been made and continues, It was announced. There have been no reports of German submarines or raiders in the locality in which the collier was, ahe department's statement said. The weather had not been stormy and could hardly have given the collier trouble.
