England Prepares To Fix Responsibility
 For Dirigible's Loss

without any previous warning. there was a terrific explosion. Before the roar had died away. there was a sec and flame l could see flying debris from the body of the craft. Then the ships back broke, and she went into m ent ver;itable war scene. The heavier parts began falling with great speed, but the envelope seemed for an instant to hang in the air Within two minutes of the first de- tonation. the wreckage fell into the Humber. l could not see the after or rear gondola as the wreckage came down, and concluded that it had been blown to atoms by the blast.''
 General Brook Poppham, director of the staff of the British air minis try and G. Cockburn, chief of the American department of the air min istry, accompanied by their staffs. have arrived here, to institute a board of inquiry. They began their official investigation Hnm ediately after their arrival this morning.
 All officials and representatives of the air ministry said they would re- fuse the official report. Cockburn is the greatest expert in Great Britain on the causes of air disasters. He has made a special study of this phase of aviation and aeronautics since fly ing was in its infancy.
 Commander MaNfield's body lies in the local infirmary. His wife and daughter have arrived from Pullman to take charge of it.
 It is expected that an American warship will be furnished to take back to the United States the bodies of the dead Americans.
 Lieut.. C. A. Tinker. U. S. N, and Major P. E. Van Nostrand, of the United States army air force, who was to have made the trip back to America with the ZR-2 as observer, have arrived in Hull. But were in London 1t the time of the disaster. Tinker said that the American naval men who had inspected the ZR-2 had every confidence in the airworthiness of the craft and he spoke sharp1- of widespread reports in this country and the United States that the airship was defective when she began her flight at Howden-
 'tWhatever was the fn1n ediate cause of the disaster it was made more complete by burning gases said Major Van Nostrand. Despite this disaster, am convinced that the perfection of lighter than air craft is bound to forge ahead amazingly. erica will have this advantage she controls almost completely the supply of he1iurn, a non 1nf1ammab1e gas"
 The inquest will be opened by Cor oner Adam Jackson on Friday.

T saw her nose go ooWn had happened, for the craft would not attempt a landing over a city. | kept staring at the dirigible and IL must have been less than two min utes afterwards that l saw her break clean in two. The parts shot down wards into the Humber. As quickly as I could, I procured tugboat ana made for the wreckage which was still smoking and steaming in the water. We put off small boat ana rowed to the after cockpit which was partly on the surface of the river ana partly submerged. I went overboard there might be helpless wounded men whose lives I could save. found one body and swan back to the boat with it. I went back a second bodies. I think that a number of the victims were pinned under the water. They never had fighting chance for their lives"
 All the survivors emphasized the audiences with which the calamity occurred. This accounted for the heavy loss of life. Elaborate precau- tions had been taken to provide safe, there was an individual parachute for each. But so quickly. did the gir- ders break, and the ship explode, that the men were unawares and only
  tase of the para chutes.
 Sergeant Bushby, of the American air force. was another eye witness to this areial tragedy. He was watch ing the flight, he said, when he sud denly noticed fire amidships. He had not noticed the sagging of the ship because of his position. Imme- diately after flames appeared there came the roar of two almost instan- taneous explosions. The ship col Iapsed in the center and the wreck age began falling with the gondolas spinning around like tops and a long com et-1ike of smoke and fire raging out behind.
 According to the British district naval intelligence office, at this port, the ZR-2 was 1000 feet in the air when she buckled. caught fire and blew up. Despite her great height, it took the blazing wreckage less than two minutes to reach the sur face of the river. There was tre- mendous splash a squirt of smoke and steam and then the spectators on the shore, who had been held spellbound by the tragic and spectac- ufar sight, gave a cry of horror.
 An officer of the British naval fn- telligence office gave the following version of the tragedy:
 ''The ship was travelling rapidly and smoothly about 1000 feet up when sud denly and so far as I could see,

Story Of Rescue WOrk As Told By Member
 Of Tug Boats CreW

All night, boats filled with British and American navy men circled the wreckage. One more body was re- covered durnig the night vigil
 Those who saw the wreckage at close range declare that it can never be used again It was a tangled, twist ed, charred mass of metal, clot and wires. They say that undoubtedly the explosion blew some of the men to bits.
 Official photographs have been taken of the wreckage and will be sent to the Navy Department at Washington.
 Among the naval officers who were to have been members of the crew on the trip to the United States, but who were not on board the ZR-2 on her fatal voyage, was Lieut.. Ralph G. Pennoyer. of Berkeley, Calif. He was to have been one of the navigat- ing officers of the transatlantic voy- age. He made an unofficial survey today for the American Navy Depart ment, and later will submit formal report

 We saw another man in the water by the debris. He was alive and we thought he was not hurt We haul ed him on board and he turned out to be Lieut.. Wann, who was in active command of the airship. He was so exhausted he could not speak a word."
 All hope of finding more survivors was given up at noon. Divers were then preparing to go down into the river to search for bodies pinned un- der the wrecked dirigible.
 The survivors had been taken to the air station at Howden. The bod les of Lieut.. Charles G. Littfe and Lieut. Marcus H. Esterly were em- balmed during the day, and made ready for their transportation home ward.
 Esterly was terribly burned. Lit tie had been drowned.
 Norman O. Walker, another Ameri- can. was on board by chance. He took the place of a member of the crew who was sick.
