one of the airships suddenly made a
dive toward earth and expresses the
belief that it had been hit by a fraS

opened a heavy fire. but the shells
burst too low and the air craft rose
and escaped from the light of the
searchlight reflectors.
Forty five minutes later the man
saw another Zeppelin, and at the
same time the cannonadins was re-
sumed The bursting shells resembled
fire works display. The power
ful searchlights never quit the Zeppe
lin, which seemed TO navigate with
greater difficulty than the first, the
helmsman apparently being blinded by
the rays.
