1t was Charles +. Blalack, for
mer resident of Brownsville, who
at San Francisco Sunday caught
the s. o. s. Of General Umberto
Mobiles dirigible Italia, in distress

in French. in Italian and English,
was picked out of the air Sunday
BY Blslack.
Position OF the Italia was not
given.
It said: IS. o. S. as RAOS d.
rigible Italia with General Mobile
in disaster. II is equipped TO
radio on wave length Of 40.45

Arctic fliers, left this afternoon for
Copenhagen in a special airplane
which Lufthansa placed at their dis

They were given a cordial bood-bye
by Captain Roald Amundsen.
KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen, May %.
-(Pp-Ice, which might have caused
the collapse Of the dirigible Italia,
today blocked the first attempt to
search for the missing airship.
The Citta Di Milano, base ship
Of General Umberto Mobiles polar
expedition, sailed from Kings Bay
to make a preliminary survey Of
rescue conditions. At 3 o'clock last
night the vessel reported by wire
less that she was off Amsterdam
island off the northern coast OF
Spitzbergen. A strong wind was
piling ice floes against the coast,
the message ADDED.
A grim silence fell over the little
group of Italians left behind at the
hanger here. At that il was exactly
sixty hours since the dirigible had
been in touch with headquarters.
One Of the hypothesis discussed
concerning the fate Of the Italia was
that ice and wet snow forming on rne
airships might have wrecked il. 1t
was recalled that the dirigible Norge
in which General Mobile flew over
the north pole two years ago, was
at the point of collapsrnE at one
time under such a burden.
The weather continued extremely
cold today and there was a bitter
wind with fogs over the mountains
to the north.
The view prevailed generally today
that the search for the missing air.
