Tiny Dirigible HI Bucks Cre,v
Unto Barren Island and Bolts
oulky Craft Dips After Engine Fails, Gets Rid
OF Passengers, Then Scars North; Pursued
by Arpiane, Runaway Lands in Westchester

The Hi, smallest of navy dirigibles,
dumped its crew on Barren Island yes-
terday afternoon and set out alone
for the north, taking the general route
followed by the dirigible which carried
its crew to the Hudson Bay region last
winter.
The tiny H-1, pursued by an airplane
and a motor truck, came down after
travelling only about fifty miles, how
ever. landing unscathed between Scars
dale and Tuckahoe, in Westchester
County. It's crew suffered nothing
worse than bruises.
For several days the HI had been
sulking. Something was wrong with
its engines. About 2 p. m. Lieutenant
Charles Bauch, its pilot, set out with
the blimp to discover what allied it.
He was accompanied by B. A. Sullivan,
machlnist's mate, frst-class. and f. A.
Kenny, aviator chief rater.
They had proceeded only short dis
tance from the naval air station at
Rockaway Point when the engine died.
It's death was sudden and tragic. and
was described by one of the crew as
failing apart" At the time the engine
fell apart" the blimp was being driven
toward Barren Island by a southeriy
breeze.
Lieutenant Bauch began valving it
