The two tiny craft, worn and battered | by years of service, came alongside the giant cruiser Portland soon after a two- day gale abated last night “We want to help find the bodies of the men who died in the Akron erash,” Capt.

Mud forced cancellation of the orginal plan to test the 785~foot airship yeésterday. The Macon wouldn't have minded the puddles, but the 130-tom mobile mooring mast that will lead her 1#bm her airdock might have had plenty of trouble on soft footing. ° “Capt. Alger H.
