>From the Sandusky Daily Register  Sandusky, OHIO
Thurs. Oct. 1, 1931

                  SHIP SEEN HERE BUT NOT AKRON                                                                     --------------------
          Many Sanduskians Watched Hazy Form Over Lake.

   The dim hazy form of a dirigible or blimp sailing over
Marble peninsula in a northwesterly direction was seen by
many Sandusky residents late Wednesday afternoon and many
thought it was the dirigible "Akron" but news dispatches to
The Register said the "Akron" did not take to the air
Wednesday.

   The cigar shaped ship was seen for nearly half an hour
as it slowly made its way from the lake over the neck of
land and faded slowly at last into the gray of the gathering
dusk.

   Some here ventured the suggestion that it might have been
one of the small blimps of the Goodyear company instead of a
dirigible, but it was too far in the distance to distinguish.

   Press dispatches said Wednesday that the fifth flight of
the "Akron" will not start before Thursday. The announcement
added that indications are that the weather may be unfavorable,
causing further postponement.

   On the next flight the Navy plans to test the airship's
dynamic lift.  The ship has been in the air more than 20 of
the 75 hours required for its acceptance by the Government
from the builders.
