WHEN THE ZEPPELINs COME
Graphic Description Of Air Attack on
London.
We were inside the glass area Of the
Great Eastern station, just about to
ascend the stairs, when station, hand
bag. my friend Greenwood and the
whole world seemed swallowed UP in
one stupendous bang; and the glass
came down, and the flames went up
roof high. my God!" we said, and
covered.
Poor Greenwood fled up the stairs
with maniacle energy and bolted
along the platform, I pursuing and
saying silly, comforting things.
Bang! And a blood-red glare shot
from South Place side. "Oh! my
Cod" shrieked Greenwood. Three
more bombs fell over Finsbury-then
pause.
We breathed, Thank God, 1t is
over"
/ had Greenwood by the arm. !
was sweating with my Internal bag
and coat, and also, / confess, in alb
ject fear. We trotted back along the
platform to where dark forms filtered
In the blackness. And then came an
absolutely stunning crash almost on
our heels and the Down Signal box
on the Great Eastern main line went
flaming to the sky. We could not bear
it any longer. I felt must see what
was doing. I crept downstairs. Bang!
Bang! Bang! Out into the street.
1t was like daylight. Fires, fires
everywhere. London on fire! st.
Paurs showed black against a vivid
glare in Cheapside or Holburn, some
where down there. 1t was marvellous.
But most marvellous Of all was that
Zeppelin in the sky. That silver-gray
phantom was pinned by four immense
searchlights from the four quarters of
the city. Turn as 1t might they held
it in view.
And then marvel piled on marvel.
From the Greek Eastern hotel roof
came crack, sharp, staccato-like a
big rifle-a sheet Of flame and then, I
didn't breathe though shells scared
and burst below.
TOO short, confound It, too short!"
l stood there with my mouth open
and dry, my neck aching; and all the
time I was standing few feet from
motor bus lying a mere tangle OF
old iron, with the shattered bodies OF
nine passengers strewn around.
Crack! Another, a little nearer, and
the Zeppelin zigzagged slowly as
squlrming. And then. quite suddenly
the four lights shut off and another
began swinging to and fro across the
eyes Of the Germans in the air.
Then 1t shut off, and a bigger gun
banged and bigger shell scared. Did
1t hit? I don't know. It looked as
though 1t went through; but in the
queer glare Of the fires one can't be
certain.
Then I ran back and got Greenwood
out. He was in a state Of collapse
So was /. Then began a most peculiar
adventure. Fires had dimmed as
we CROPPED our way, like two weary old
men, out Of the station into street
strewn with broken glass, woodwork
grease, blood and horrible messes tina
one doesn't like to think about.
And we tottered slowly. (Bang!
Bang! in the far distance) down the
incline into Liverpool street. 1t was
like descending into a grave. Pitch
darkness and absolute silence reigned
in the largest railroad terminus In the
world.
How l got across that booking hall
in the darkness, how I found the cloak
room man in darkness and in tears
how ] discovered a forgotten lantern
in an angle Of the refreshment room
and how I held my hat over 1t while
the man wrote the ticket and paid
my fourpence-what tale 1t would
make If had time!
At last 1 started out and hurried
past the ruined bus and around into
South Palace. where an ambulance
nearly ran over us in the dark. and so
to the city road. where the trains were
running in darkness, but rushing,
thank God!
started home with Greenwood and
all down the street we saw old ladies
standing at their gates admiring the
sight. II the Germans think they are
soaring the people they are making a
big mistake. There is something CO.
lossal about their insensibility. And
next day I learned that Lloyds were
losers by 100000 pounds for that one
nights work.
And looking around then I noted
with deepest delight that the offices
Of the Peace society had been blown
to bits. Much laughter from passers-
by. Yet they say the Germans have
no sense Of humor.-London Letter to
