Aug. 17 'P Two naval officers, missing when their crewless and broken blimp floated in from the ocean and descended on a street in sub urban Daly City, were hunted at sea off the Golden Gate today. , The blimp had been on a rou tine anti-submarine patrol flight. Two life belts were missing from the craft when it landed, but all of the parachutes and the rubber lift raft were found In the gondola where the two officer-crewmen rode. The blimp, sagging In the mid dle, with big tears visible in its fabric and with its two motors idle, drifted In from the Pacific yesterday morning, five hours after it had taken off on a flight. The craft wandered along at tree top height, left one of its depth charges on the Lakeside golf course when a bomb rack scraped the ground, and drew a crowd of hundreds who followed it by automobile and street car : before it settled to earth in near ; by Daly City. j There was considerable dam age to the fabric and gondola, but navy maintenance men said I the ship could be put back into j service. One depth charge still in the j bomb rack under the gondola i offered no hazard, inasmuch a ! it would explode only under water at considerable depth, ' naval men said. The depth i charge left on the golf course likewise did not endanger any-. one.
