Aug. 24 -The great dirigj ibb ZR-2, which began a trial Right ion Tuesday morning, was wrecked by tan explosion this afternoon ap.d fell in ! ihe Humber river. According to the Central News, the I ZR-2 broke in two near Hull. It ; is feared there was a heavy lo of life, There were 50 men on the dirigible. ! including the crew of 21 American lair sailors who were to have tak-n the ! ZR-2 to the United States. The dirigible had been in the air nearly 35 hours, following her ajcent ! from London to Showden. and was 'apparently preparing to go to Puiham : for a landing when the disaster oci cured. Following the explosion, a ! sheet of flame leaped upward from the ; baloon and she was on fire who n she : fell. Three parachutes were seen to ieai the airship but experienced airmen i said they could only carry a fraction ! of the urge number of persons cn . board. i The cause of the accident a not known up to 6:30 o'clock, it!ic-u vli ; officials of the Bnfinh air ministry Mere j making frantic efforts to get all .:;, I details. Advices from Puiham said that the dirigible evidently was -n wreck. Thousand of persons in Hull who were watching the flight cf the ci.-.g-ible saw the disaster. They steed ho:ror stricken in the streets as they heard the blast. Then sheet? of fire leaped upward from the era;-'-,. The ship buckled and began falling like .i plummet, leaving behind a sheet of flame and clouds of thick smoke. The first explosion took place at 5:45 o'clock, followed immediatelv aftterward by another. The spectators on land who were watching the aircraft, ran pell-mell in everv direction when the accident occurred, fearing a rain of debris. Word from Hull at 6:35 o'clock said that so far as known, four men had made their escape from the airship by clinging to parachutes. Relief parties set out to find them and get their story of the disaster and its cause. Contradictory reports were received as to the number of parachutes that left the ZR-2. According to one re port three men were seen clinging to one parachute. One wounded man was picked up near the Humber and was rushed to ihe hospital. The disaster upset all the elaborate plans of the United States navy department, which had bought the ZR-2 from the British admiralty. The test flight was to have been the last. A wireless message from the ZR-2 during the morning said the ship had made a most successful journey j and would soon land at Puiham.
