MOTOR SHIP MISSING
CAPTURE OR SINKING FEARED WORK OF ENEMY RAIDER LINK WITH NEW ZEALAND (I'nlted Press Asn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received Sept. 10, 3.15 p.m.) SYDNEY, Sept. 10 The Minister for the Navy said that he had known for about two months that the Norwegian motor ship Tirranna was overdue on the voyage from Melbourne to Mombasa. It is feared that the Tirranna has either been captured or sunk by an enemy raider in the Indian Ocean. The Tirranna carried a crew of 60 and 12 passengers, including Lieutenant-Commander S. Rasmussen, who married a New Zealand girl only a few months before the vessel sailed.
Nothing has been heard of the vessel since it left Melbourne on May 30.
