BLIMP MYSTERY
LANDED WITHOUT ITS CREW
SAN FRANCISCO, August 17., A small navy patrol blimp landed without its crew, out of control, at a street intersection in the suburban Daly City, and collapsed in a heap. The naval authorities immediately instituted a search for two officers who are known to have been on board, and whose parachutes were found in the wreckage. One depth-bomb rack was empty when the blimp landed, and a charge was later found unexploded on a nearby golf course.
The blimp was, engaged on anti-sub-marine patrol off the Pacific coast.
