Work of identification progressed slowly Jast night, the officers and men from Langley Field detailed for this work .completing their examination shortly before daylight. Identification was established by scars, teeth and hair in some instances, but even then there were four bodies which no one could positively identity Service | | | | A morbidly curious crowd was outside of the undertaking es- tablishment far into the night. One or two ventured inside on one or an- pther pretext, but staggered out gasp- ing for breath a few seconds later. There was one man who stood rtoi- cally by, never shifting his position. He was Dr. J. H. Mabry, of Newr rt ‘News. He wus lookin; for his brother, Capt. Mabry. Body after body was identified or sent back for a later examination, The last body brought in proved to be that for which he was wafting. Capt. George D.

Watts opened a yalve which caused the great gas bag to plunge like a plummet to‘earth. When about 2,000 feet from the ground the army officer realized, he told brother of- ficers, that a safe landing would be Impogsible and he leaped off in a parachute, making a safe landing. Meanwhile the concensus of opinion here is that Capt. D, L. Mabry, Com- mander of the Roma, In making the turn over the army base, failed to allow for the increased power recently installed in the big dirigible. The rudder broke under the unusual strain, jamming into the controls, This oc- curred at a *helght estimated at 650 feet. The Roma's nose pointed down jand Lieut. Burt, at the elevation |lever, tugged desperately to straighten |the ship. She refused to respond and he yelled at Capt. Mabry to shut off the motors. They were shut off, one by one. The helpless giant sagged rapidly nose pointing down at an angle of 45 degrees. Two score feet from the ground the nose passed over half a dozen high tension wires, tearing them to fragments, A second later the dirigible thrust her nose into a mass of steel billets, machine parts and scrap iron and collapsed on its living freight. A few seconds more and fire, ignited by the twisting ser- pents of flame from the 2,500-volt electric wires, swept the wreckage. A great sheet of flame shot from the huge gus bag. leaping high into the alr und driving away the scores | of soldiers und civilians who rushed to | the rescue. Unable to approach the pyre, rescuers turned in u fire alarm, and then picked up Lieut.

Woods and other army base officers who commanded the work of resoue believed that the entire crew had perished. But even as the men threw streams of water on flames, a number of men were if ARMY INQUIRY IS STARTED INTO DISASTER 10 THE “ROMA” crawling from the forward end of the ship. Rescuers quickly helped them out and ambulances rushed them to the United States Public Health Service Hospital. When the fire was extinguished, a doven charred bodies were found tan- gled in the metal skeleton, The rest of the bodies were held fast under the ship and a derrick was used to lift the giant frame be- fore these could be released. Few of the survivors could recall to-day the incidents leading up to the collapse. The dirigible struck the ground before any of them realized she was in distress, The stunning crash left most of them senseless and instinct alone impelled them to claw their way out of the wreckage. Major Welsh and Lieut. Reardon were in a forward cubin when the col- ‘apse came, They were stunned for a few second» and whi e etill in a duze kegun cutting away ut the fabric, After cutting a large hole they found themselves directly over a deep de- | pression in the ground ond this en- abled them t crawl to safety. Cupt, Isaish Davicr, Adjutant at Lungley Field, to-day denied reports that helium gas ha! been removed from the Roma's bag just before che Gight “We haven't that much helium,’ he said. ‘The Roma's bag was filled with the usual hydrogen and we er used helium in her.’ Stories of the crash conflict, but general opinion is that the gas bag exploded as the ship struck tho ground, Residents of Hampton, Newport News and other towns some miles from the scene reported hear- ing the sound of the explosion. Sev- eral army officers reported likewise, Others, however, denied there was an explosion. Major J. D. Reardon, one of the survivors, tells something of the last moments, ‘The dirigible had been manoeuvred about the flatlands around Hampton Roads for some time, he said, when Lieut, Burt, in charge of the elevator planes, sud- denly shouted: “She won't respond!”’ Capt. Mabry, at the wheel, shouted to the Lieutenant to elevate the ship and though Burt threw his whole weight on the elevation lever, the Roma continued to plunge. The last words Major Reardon heard from Capt. Mabry were: “Good God, Loys!"’ Before they struck the motors had been cut off one by one, which lessened the foree with which the ship struck. Capt, Mabry’s clothes were burned from hts body and the flesh from bis fing but he did pot let go the wheel, as regouers found later, For more than five hours, until after dark, the airship continued to blaze In defiance of all the fire fight- ing facilities available, The fames were fed by a million cuble fect of gas and it was not until 7 P. M. that the fire was out, “IT have no idea what caused the necldent,"’ said Capt, Walter J, Reed, chief pilot, in a statement given out ut the Public Health Service Hospital ‘ere to-day “I doubt if it will ever ben known Of corse we have our own theories, but we are not certain which is cor- rect.

The first inti- mation we had that there was trouble was when we saw the nose of the ship down, We went back to what cn it and found the contro! way not working. . “Everything possible was done to straighten the ship and get her on an keel again, Capt.

Of the few survivors of the Roma's fall and fire, only two or three were able to tell much of what happened. The best version, perhaps, was given to Capt. 8. H. R. Doyle, com- manding the navel air station at Hampton Roads, by one of those who escaped death but whose name Capt. Doyle was unable to obtain, The sur- vivor was an officer and, Capt. Doyle thinks, rated Captain, “The Roma was about 1,000 feet ip the air when the crew realized that something was wrong,” the un- named man said. “Her nose was @ettling gradually but very slowly. We tried to nose her up, but the effort was unsuccessfu, {t seemed as though her elevating planes had been carried away, “She kept on going downward, The ofMfcers on board the ship knew of the location of the high-voltage electric line and did everything pos- sible to avoid it, But tt was not to be escaped, The ship crashed into It and instantly burst into flames. “The force of the contact with this wire and the blaze that followed aepparently caused th» Roma to turn completely over, because when she landed the gas bag, instead of being ove the rigid keel, was be ow | and the men in the compartments along the keel had been dropped ai- |S8eemed to have been thrown clear of! the fire ground.”’ A graphic account of the disaster was given by E. L. Potte an em ployee at the army base, who wo watching the Roma flying over the base and saw the airship fall. “The Roma was salling along nice- ly at about 2,000 feet up, I should judge, when something seemed to go wrong," he suid “The big ship began to teeter about as if her steering apparatus had col- lapsed. Then down, nose first, "She came slowly at first, saw men on the ship throwing things out—bags of ballast, 1 gu As she came faster, more things were thrown out then I saw two men leap with parachutes. By the time they jumped, howbver, to the ground for their parachutes to catch the air. When the ship neared the ground the rear end hit some high power electric wires and imme- diately there was a crash and a wall of flame shot into the air, hundreds of feet. “The men who were taken out alive had managed to get clear of the when the ship struck the airship and jump away from her be- | fore the explosion The Koma started away from Lang- ley Field early in the day on what was intended as a speed test. She was expected to maintain a rate of about 100 miles an hour with her new Lib- erty motors, replacing Italian engines with which she had been powered during her two years of service in Italy and her early trials here. Graham Dalton, employed near the scene of the wreck, gave a graphic account of the disaster. “Tt all happened in a second,” he said, “I remember seeing one man leap, his parachute did not work, and he hit the pavement and lay still, TI saw another fellow crawl out from under the wreckuge. His clothes were afire; he crawled on his hands and knees us fur as a puddie of water, feli over into Oa water and turned over and over, trying to put out the fire. One of the uninjured is Lieut. Byron G, Burt. His story was as follows: “We were running about fifty miles an hour, It was in cnarge of the elevator lever, controlling the planes that made the ship ascend or descend. We were trying to climb when I realized that We were near the wire, I threw all my strength upon the ested, that the kite box hung down] lever and tried to force the ship up-| ward, but it was no go and | shouted: ‘She won't respond!’ “Capt. Mabry, the commander, was’ shouting to me to make her climb, but she wouldn't. “The next thing I knew I heard Capt, Mabry say ‘Good God, boys!' I saw him sticking there at his post| with the flames around his hands on the ship's wheel. 1 could see that he was doing his best to get us down safely, but he couldn't make it, The ship Was near the esrcn at this time nd 1 feel sure that if we hadn't] struck that wire we could have come| down without any loss of life, though | she might have been dumagea. “I'm alive, I think, because 1 stuck to the ship. The fire was ‘burn flercely under me and there wae a Uttle flame at my back Whee we struck, 1 was under the bag and there ed for the Games to burn a bole through the fabric near where I was, and I crawled out through tnat hole, “1 was expecting every minute to hear the whole bag explode.
