LANDS DALY CITY;
OFFICERS VANISH
San Francisco. 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.
