The fate of the dirigible Italia,
missing on her return flight to
King's Hay, Bpltzbergen, from tho
North l'ole, continued to be a
mystery today.
California radio stations picked
up a message thought to be from
the Fnr- Eastern university at
Vladivostok, Siberia, saying tho
Italia had met with disaster and
was asking help. The message
suggested the possibility that the
Vladivostok Btatlon hod been in
touch with the Italia.

WASHINGTON, May 28 (IP)
The United States naval trans
port Chaumont, stationed near
Tientsin, China, reported to the
navy . department today through
Admiral Mark U Uristol that alio
had picked up the following mes
sage at 10:40 p. m. last night.
"C. Q. UeAsrao 3 QTC dirigible
Qeneral Nobile Is In distress, ask
ing for help (stop he is supplied
with a short wave 80.33 .meter
radio stop)".
The message picked up by the
Chaumont nnpeured definitely to
settlo any mystery connected with
th similar message prcked- t.p In
California sines It 'obviously; dlrf '
not eomo from the Italia, hut
was simply a message sent otic
to notify other stations of tho
plight of tho dirigible.
Navy department communica
tion officers Interpreted the In
troductory letters of the mes
sage to show that It had been re
broadcasst from the Vladivostok
radio station, the call letters of
which are AHKAO-3.
The interpretation of the first
part of the message, as worked
out at the navy department. Is
as follows
"To all ships, from Vladivostok
station. I have something to
trnnsmlt."
"CQ" and "QTC" are Inter
national accepted radio abbrevia
tions and the "DK" was Inter
preted us meaning "from."
KINO'8 BAY, Spitsbergen, May
28. (An Ice which might hnve
caused the collapse of the dirigible
Italia today blocked the first at
tempt to search for the missing
nirshlp.
The Cltta dl Mllano, base ship
of (ieneral Umberto Noblle's polar
expedition, sailed from King's Hny.
to make a preliminary survey of
rescue conditions.
At 9 p. m., last night the ves
sel reported by wireless that sho
was off Amsterdam Island off the
northern coast of Spitsbergen. A
strong wind was blowing, against
the coast,
A grim silence fell over the lit
tle group of Itallunsa left behind
nt the hangar. It wus exactly
60 hourss since the dirigible had
been In touch with headquarters.
One of the hypothesis discussed
concerning the fute of the Italia,
was that Ice and snow forming on
the airship might have wrecked
It. It was recalled that the di
rigible Norge, In which General
Nubile flew over the North pole
two years ago, was on the poln.
of collapsing at one time under
such a burden.
The weather continued ex-
tremely cold and there was a blt
iter wind with fogs over the moun
tains to the north.'
I The .view prevailed generally
today that the search for the miss
ing airship should first be under
taken at northeastland. It was
pointed out that the last message
from the Italia came at 8 a. m.
Greenwich time (4 a. m. eastern
standard time) on Friday nnd It
reported the airship on an east
ern course and the belief of her
navigators was that she had been
about 1 f5 miles north ot Morfen
Island at a e'clock that morning.
Morfen Island Is about CO miles
nonh of Northeastland.
In the region there are several
winter houses where the crew ot
the Italia might find shelter ln
case of a landing. Several hunters
l:ing there have already seen
the Italia In flight and would he
Instsantly on the lookout for her.
