FIND WRECKAGE OF DIRIGIBLE BY HARRY FLORY (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) PARIS, Jan. 3—Charred wreckage, positively identified as part of the lost French dirigible Dixmude, has been found floating in the Mediterranean sea, off Cape San Marcos on the southwestern coast of Sicily, the French cruiser Mulhouse reported by radio today. Among the wreckage was the 200 litre essence tank, the upper part of which was scorched by fire. The tank was constructed of aluminum and was painted black. It was covered with scrawled inscriptions which were deciphered as follows: "E. S. 2. 48 L., 113010 260 Y PE 200." Officials of the ministry of marine are mystified as to the meaning of the murks. They had been scratched into the black paint with some sort of improvised instrument. The commander of the Mulhouse made his report to the ministry of marine. He said that the debris was picked up floating on the surface of the sea between Cape San Marcos and the light-house of the coast. Rubberized tissue, badly charred, was found nearby. Officials were certain that this tissue, as well as the tank, was part of the lost ship. The fact that the wreckage was found near the spot where the body of the commander, Leut-Commander Duplessis De Grenedan, was picked up, strengthened opinion in official circles that the Dixmude, probably wrecked by an explosion, fell into the sea off the southwest coast of Sicily. The Mulhouse is continuing the search for more wreckage and bodies. It is believed in some quarters, however, that the heavier parts of the dirigible, becoming waterlogged, sank, carrying many if not all of the 49 missing persons down with it. Those on board the ill-fated ship have now been missing 16 days. LA HABRA. Jan. 3 (Special). Mrs. Jack Carrick entertained Tuesday with a turkey dinner for her daughter and husband, Mr. and Mrs. L.
