In ad dition to the structural trouble, the Observer asserted, the ZR-2 had been handicapped by engine difficulties. Tugs and other craft of all kinds put off from the shore for rescue work immediately the disaster was wit nessed. Simultaneously, a corps of ambulances dashed to the pier and took injured members of the crew to the infirmary as they were landed It is known that at least six sur- vivors have been picked up, one of them with a broken leg and one se- verely burned.

It is learned that the American of- ficers on board the dirigible were Commander Louis H. Maxfield, Wash- ington, D. C.; Lieut. Commander Val entine N. Bieg of Bryn Mawr, Pa. Lieut. Commander Emory Foil of Marietta, Ohio; Lieut. Marcus H. Es- terly, Washington, D. ¢ Lieut. Henry W. White, Clearwater, Fla. and Lieut. Charlies G. Little, New- buryport, Mass. The purchase price of the ZR-2? was to be $2,00,000. This, it is assumed, S was to become effective after the air- craft had completed her trials and Si|was delivered to and accepted by the American authorities. The British builders and’ the air service had been careful to avoid « premature deliv- ery, as they had wished to be as-~ riggers, in| sured that everything connected with | the structural arrangement of the dirigible was in satisfactory condi- tion. It was for this reason chiefly that the flight which terminated so disastrously today was begun. The monetary loss, under the circum- stances, apparently falls on the con- actors and builders. of the muin girders failed to stand the strain, it appeared and the disaster resulted.
