were killed or drowned. 
 The Tyler was a vessel of 3,920 tons gross, and was built in 1913. She was sunk 
on May 3.
Of the eleven who perished, six were members of the merchant crew and five were 
navy gunners.
Among those reported missing is Clarence E. Knowlton, of Norfolk, who was well 
known in the city.  His sister, Mrs. J.H. Riley, of 407 W. 31st Street, received 
a telegram from Washington telling of the loss of her brother.
