Five persons were killed and exten.

Yarmouth and the seacoast towns OF
Cromer, Beeston, Kings Lynn and
Sheringham.
The hostile craft bombarded Sand
ringham, the favorite country estate
of King George and Queen Mary. Their
majesties had left the palace only a
few hours earlier for London. probably
escaping grave peril. The raid was
carried out in utter darkness, the air
craft picking their course by search
light flashes.
A report has been received here
from Hunstanton, few miles north OF
Sandringham. that Zeppelin has been
brought to earth. 1t is believed Brit
ish aeroplanes fought the zeppefins
In the dark.
London became panicky following
reports of the air incursion, and all
constables were called out at midnight
to watch for flashes from the search
lights OF the invading craft.
That the raid was made by three
Zeppelins appears almost certain
Three OF the dirigibles were sighted
flying toward the North sea over the
