CARLYLE EXPEDITION FEARED LOST



MOMBASA (Reuters) -- Uplands police representatives today asked for public assistance concerning the disappearance of the Carlyle Expedition.  No word of the party has been received in nearly two months.

The group includes wealthy playboy Roger Carlyle and three other American citizens, as well as respected Egyptologist Sir Aubrey Penhew of the United Kingdom.

The expedition left Nairobi on August 3, ostensibly on camera safari, but rumor insisted that they actually were after legendary Biblical treasures.

Carlyle and his party reportedly intended to explore portions of the Great Rift Valley, to the northwest of Nairobi.
