planes. The course steamer Avocet,
which has arrived at Manchester,
tells story, according to the Liver

minutes engagement with three hos
tile aeroplanes at II o'clock on the
morning of Oct. 80. One of the aero
planes was large battle plane which
dropped sc bombs, some Of which
missed the steamer by not more than
seven feet. ..
When the bombs were exhausted
the battle plane fired on the Avocet
with machine gun. The ships side
and decks were struck by bullets but
all the crew escaped injury.
At a height Of from 500 to 1000
feet all the aeroplanes dropped bombs
and attacked the steamer with rifles.
The Avocet's escape was due to zig
gag maneuvering and by the fact that
the aeroplanes dared not fly lower.
