SAN DIEGO NEXT PORT
Trip to Pacific Coast Estimated About 30 Hours From Texas-Big Crowds Cheer as Huge Gas Bag Resumes Its Flight.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Fort Worth. Tex, Oct. 9.--Atter a delay of 45 minutes, waiting for the sun to come from behind some clouds and shine long enough to ex- pand the helium in its huge body, the naval dirigible Shenandoah cast off on the second leg of its trans- continental flight at 9:46 a. m., cen- tral time today.
 After circling over Forth Worth, the silvery-grey ship turned west ward with San Diego, Calif., as it's next port of call.
 Flight Successful.
 When the ship cast off 1t had suc- cessfully completed it's first night at a strange landing station, hitched to a strange mooring mast. Though the craft has made several .evernight flights, its earthly connection had always been at Lakehurst, N. J., its home port.
 Lieutenant Commander L. Han cock, who was in charge of naviga- tion from Lakehurst to Fort Worth, estimated that the trip to Fl Paso would take approximately IA to 16 hours, making the passage over that city come some time after 10 D. m. mountain time.
 With favorable winds on the oth- CT side of Fl Paso, the trip to San Diego will probably be made in 30 hours, he declared.
 During the morning the ship was board ed by Lieutenant c. E. Rosen- dahl, navigator, who will supervise the operation to the destination Iaksview, Washington. -
 Rear Admiral w. A. Moffett, chief of the bureau of naval aerona utics, is on board as official observer.
 Big Crowd Cheers.
 As the ship cast off cheer went up from the large crowd that had assembled. Immediately the ship was joined by an escort squadron of five airplanes, which accompanied 1t for several miles.
 During the night the ship took on 1.5O0 gallons of gasoline, about 500 gallons of water ballast, and 50 gall Ions of lubricating oil, in addition to food for the crew. As the ship circled the city, the ships officers ex- tender their appreciation for the courtesies shown them at Fort Worth by means of the radio, the program being picked up and re- broadcast by WEAP of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
