H.M.A.S. SYDNEY
A MYSTERY" Not A Trace Found, Despite Thorough Search United Press Assoc tetluu.—Copyright. Rec. 2 p.m. CANBERRA, this day. "The time that has elapsed since H.M.A.S. Sydney disappeared makes it almost inevitable that her fate will remain a mystery." said the Minister for the Navy, Mr. Makin. "Her disappearance is an amazing thing. Even the most experienced naval men find it difficult to explain. The area where she disappeared has been thoroughly searched by ships and planes. Not one body or piece of wreckage has been found. "The search by sea and air will go on until we feel that the public is satisfied that everything possible has been done." Among the men missing and believed killed in the loss of H.M.A.S. Parramatta is a New Zealander, William J. Allsop (Yeoman of Signals). ISee earlier reports on page six.]
