The plans of the United States navy's trans-Atlantic flight by dirigible received a serious jolt when the giant blimp C-5 burst from her moorings in a gale and swept out to sea soon after shl had arrived from Montauk Point after being the air continuously for twenty five hours and forty five minutes.

The destroyer Edwards immediately set. out In pursuit, with orders to bring the big gas down with anti-aircraft artillery if necessary. Even if the Edwards is able to res cue the blimp before serious misfortune befalls her, it Is probable it will require some time to repair the damage. Lieutenant G. Little of Newbury-port, Massachusetts, who was given charge of the dirigible after her crew had been bundled off to bed aboard the cruiser Chicago, was almost carried away by the fugitive gas bag while making a nervy attempt to deflate it.

Seated in the blimp's nacelle, he seized the rip cord and gave it a tug, which should have opened the big envelope and permitted the gas to escape. The cord broke, however, and Lieutenant Little leaped from a height of twenty five feet. Its escape was followed by a long struggle by the sailors to prevent its injury when the wind swept it across the mooring place. Several sailors clinging to the guy ropes were thrown down ty the final tug, but none were injured. The dirigible is said to have performed perfectly on its thirteen hundred mile trip, and only final authorization from Washington and an inspection of its engine stood between the aviators and a trans-Atlantic flight.

Dropped Into the Sea ST. JOHNS, May 15. The United States dirigible C-5, which escaped from its moorings this afternoon, dropped into the sea eighty five miles off shore according to a radio message from an unidentified British steamship.
