BELIEF IN PIRATES GROWING AS MORE SHIPS ARE MISSING State Department Issues State- ment Intimating Deering Was Taken by Violence. TWENTY ON LIST NOW. Almost Every Seafaring Na- tionality Represented and All Kinds of Vessels. WASHINGTON, June 22.—After a careful search of the records, the De- Dartment of Commerce has given out @ list of twenty ships missing since Jan. 1 of this year and of which no Word has been received, At the same time the theory of piracy is so galn- ing in strength that the State De- Partment has issued a statement in which it is plainly intimated that ag least one vessel disappeared in this way, Besides the five-masted schooner Carol Deering, two of the vessels Whose disappearance has made the Government authorities * suspicious are the Spanish steamer Yute and the Russian bark Albyan, On the theory that if any of the men are still alive they will return to their old haunts, detectives have looked up every address given in the ship's article Vessels. The crew list of the Hewitt, one of the ill-fated ships shows the following officers and such seamen as are credited to New York: Captain, H. J. Hansen; Mates, James R. Bid, Boston; Ernest Olsson, Port- land, Me,; E. Hughes, Hudson, Mass Chief Engineer, B, Englis, New York; petty officers and seamen, C. H. Prentice, H, Olsen, Antoine Lucas, J. Digh, T. Molly, W. Robson, Robert Wandras, Adam Blackburn, Fred Britd and B. Rainey. The statement given out by the State Department reads: “The Department of State ts in possession of the following informa- tion concerning the disappearance of the crew of the American schooner Carol A, Deering: “On Jan. 29, 1921, the American sohooner Carol A. Deering, sailing at the rate of about five miles per hour, passed Cape Lookout Lightship, North Carolina, and on Jan. 81, 1921, it was found a few miles north of that point in such condition that there is every suspicion of foul play having occurred, The vessel cleared for Nor- folk, Va., from Rio de Janeiro, and put into Barbados for orders, but receiving different orders, proceeded on its voyage to Norfolk. “After passing Cape Lookout Light- sbip the vessel was not again seen 19 West 34th Street of two of the missing | THE EVENING WORLD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, nation — America, Britain, Japan, |ships all within a comparatively Italy, Spain, Russia, Norway, Den- | short time, and many in close prox- Thetr | imity to the point where the Drering tramp steamers, | was found abandoned, lend an un- until it was found nothing has been members of the crew.
