ARMY B[|MP TA-5
FALLS; TRIO SAVED
Engine Trouble Causes Crash
of Dirigible in Hamp-
ton Roads.
Nv the AssnciaIcd Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HAMPTON, Va, March 1.-THE
Army dirigible TA-5, of Langley Field,
manned by Second Lieut.. r. kieburtz,
pilot; Sergt. G. II. Johnson, engineer;
and Priv. Joseph Winters, rigger. de-
veloped trouble in its engine and
valves yesterday about o'clock, and
after floating around in the air for a
period of an hour or more, finally
took a nose dive and landed in Hamp-
ton Roads. None of the three men
aboard the craft was injured, and it
was stated at the flying field that the
craft will again be in condition within
the next several days.
When trouble developed with the
dirigible, the pressure of the wind on
the ship tore open the front section
of the bag, and considerable excite
ment was created in Hampton and
over the peninsula by its appearance,
while it hung helpless in the air be-
fore it settled.
Messages were flashed around over
the peninsula that the ship was in
distress, and soon the body of water
off Fort Monroe was lined with small
water craft bent on lending any as
siStance possible to the Inflated blimp.
A large number of boats from Fort
Monroe were on the scene when the
ship finally came down. and aided in
the work of getting the three passen-
gers safely away. Seaplanes from
the naval base lowered i'll the vicinity
of the crippled blimp, and the tea,
sister dirigible of the TA-5, was also
on hand to send wireless advice.
Cool Judgment on the part of
those who We're handling the TA-5
probably prevented serious conse-
Quences, as the mere feat of keeping
II in the air and out of the water
prevented irreparable damage.
