Nobile Reports Blimp Crash Mystery and Rescue Hope

He outlined two theories for the smoke seen from the downed airship and noted one survivor aboard who could aid a rapid descent. Farther, rescue efforts continued as 50 miles of pack ice hindered the Krassin drag and the five marooned crew plus Lieutenant Lundborg faced delays in air and sea rescue attempts.
