Two men were still missing today but search was bcrngfcontlnucd for them. The accident occurred off Point Sur. 110 miles south of here, while the Macon was on a test flight from her base at Sunnydale. The big dirigible was able to send out distress calls as she was falling and surface craft were rapidly at work picking up the survivors. Despite the fact that the Macon was Inflated with non-Mflammable helium gas, there was an explosion, It Is stated, which ripped off her tall. She first dropped 2500 feet, then righted herself and fell again. Naval experts are somewhat mystified as to how the accident could have occurred. It Is pointed out, however, that the eight engines of the ship were located Inside the balloon Instead of suspended from below as in previous airships Lieut. Commander Wiley officially advised the naval department last night that the ship had been forced down and sank at sea. A naval hospital ship left San Diego last night to minister to any who might be Injured.
