HULL, Eng. Ang. 25.-Divers
who inspected the submerged
wreckage of the dirigible ZR-2 dur
ing the morning reported that the
tide was so strong and the sands
were shifting so rapidly over the
body of the lost airship that is was
unlikely that any more bodies
would ever be recovered. Thirty
eight bodies were still missing.
Inquiry Under Way.
An official inquiry is under wav.
The death list is officially placed at
forty-three. Sixteen of the seventeen
Americans on board perished.
The city of Hull is in deep mourn
ing. All the flags are at half staff.
1t is likely that a great public fun
eral will be held in London for the
lost British and American air sailors.
The disaster-the most appalling in
the history of peace-time aeronautics
was almost instantaneous. The
breaking of the girders and the two
explosions which broke the back of
the giant craft, sending her crashing
with the loss of forty-three lives. all
occurred within five seconds.
Only Six Escaped.
Out Of the forty-nine men on board
the giantess of the skies, only six es-
aped, one of them an American-Nor-
man o. Walker. a rigger, of Com

was carrying too much weight for her
framework. Several girders are be-

The British air ministry was In sole
charge of the craft when she was
wrecked. She had not yet been turned
over to the United States Navy De-
partment. Her final and fatal trial
flight was being made under the direc.

the British air service. Comdr. l.. H.
Maxfield, U. S. N, who was to have
been in charge Of the dirigible on her
voyage across the Atlantic, was on

The presence OF mind OF Lieut..

even a greater disaster. The ship be-
gan to buckle and hump" while she
was over this city. Instantly the COM
