They were still at their engines as the broken after part of the dirigible came close to the ground touching the tops of trees and listing badly towards the port side.

By that time we under stood the completeness of the disasi ter and all Of the men In the power cars were climbing above the en- zines to get handgrip of some kind on the frame of the dirigible.
 "As the Shenandoah finally settled the three rear power cars were twisted and torn away. We were bounced around savagely for several minutes. We had first struck among the tops or some trees.
 "These slowed up the speed of the airship, or rather that part of the airship in which we were riding and as she bounded down toward the ground some of the men were vir- tually thrown off; others watched their chance and leaped. It was half dark at the time. We could not see at once that the nose of the airship was missing"

WATER SYSTEM
 WAS DIS7RUS7ED
Newly Installed Apparatus May
 Have Caused Break

Lakehurst. ", J., Sept, fF-- Mrs. Zachary Lansdowne, widow of the commanding officer of the wrecked Shenandoah today asserted that she had not criticized the secretary Of the navy in her comments of last night on the advisabilit of the flight of the Shenandoah to the middle west.
 "I was misunderstood last night, said Mrs, Lansdowne, Commander Lansdowne was very much opposed 10 making the flight at this time and he advised the de- partment accordingly. Having been born in the Ohio valley, he knew weather conditions out there and had some fear of them" From another source 1t was learn ed today that Commander Lans- downe. before starting on the ill., fated trip, had criticized the water recovery system installed about six weeks ago and had declared that he intended having it removed, Among men who understood the ships construction, it was freely pre-, dicted that the ship could have weathered the storm with the old system.
 The original water recovery sys- tenn distributed the water recovered from exhaust gas of the engines to ballast bags scattered throughout the ship to counteract the loss in weight from gasoline consumption.
 The new system, installed at sec ton 11o, near the place where the dirigible Is said to have broken. concentrated a great part of the re covered water In canvas bag hold ing three tons at the spot where the ship broke,
 Not only 1t Is believed that the new sysem concentrated too much weight in one part of the ship, but in addition 1t is believed that the cutting of one of the main circular ribs of the ship and an intermediate rib for installation of the new. sys- tenn resulted in further weakness These formed the main structure of the ship.
 The two ribs, or rings as they are called in dirigible construction, were reunited by square connection in stead of the original circular form. and this also was criticized by Con- mander Lansdowne in private con | net Iof rf, 1f the ship.
