The oi) tanker George Loomis in 1917 left San Francisco for Coos bay, Oregon, with a crew of 38 men. The | steamer Rainier, following her up! the coast, found oi! floating on the water south of Coos Bay that was surmised afterward to have come from the Loomis.

There was no trace of the crew, SAYS FATE OF SOME WON'T BE SOLVED. ° “There is usually some logical ex- planation for these disappearances,” explained James A, Moore, for years & seamon and member of the Sali ors’ Union of the Pacific, to The Star today. “But some missing shtp mysteries will never be solved. This mystery ship, the Carroll A. Deertng, that they found with sails af set and the crew gone, on Cape Hatteras, for in- stance, that's a real mystery.” WHY SOME SHIPS ARE DESERTED “And nobody will ever sotve tho mystery of the ship found not long ago floating in the Mediterranean, crewless, The crew of a passing vessel thought she was acting queer- ly and boarded her. They found not a& man aboard, but there was a meal on the tables and the coffee was still steaming. The crew was never found, “Not infrequently a crewleas ship is picked up in good condition.

The disappearance of her crew becomes a mystery to all but seafaring men. “In winter when a ship fs aban. doned there is little chance for the crew unless they are picked up in two or three hours, The spray, fall- ing, freezes on the small boats, They | become ‘iced’ The ice becomes thicker and the small boat loses) more and more freeboard; that is, she sinks lower and lower until she| and the men in her disappear.” eee Find Faint Clue of One Lost Ship WASHINGTON, June 24.—~A clue which may reveal the fate of at least one of the 20 “vanishing ships” was being followed by government inves-| tigators today.
