The navy officials are impress- ed with the evident genuiness of the evidence, but admit the weak- ness of the story of the escape from the Cyclops: No lifeboat, it is declared, could have been launched while the Cyclops was steaming without being swamp ed. It is also conaldered unlikely that all 700 of the crew of the rescue ship should have remained silent so long.
