Narrow Escape. H.

K Newcastle, England, April ia
Zeppelin airship made bomb.drop-
ping raid over the Tyneside district in
northeastern England soon after eight
o'clock Wednesday night.
The entire region from Newcastle to
the North sea coast was plunged into
darkness when the first news of the
attack came from Blyth, eleven miles
northeast Of Newcastle. The airship
was then heading from the east at
great speed. AS it passed over Blyth
it dropped eight bombs on the out
skirts Of the town. -,
X After, leaving Blyth the giant air
craft changed its course, evidently
intending to make for Newcastle.
The pilot obviously was baffled by the
darkness. Bombs were launched from
the: aircraft from time to time hap
,hazardly, but little damage was done.
Eventually the airship reached the
Tyne at Wallsend and then proceeded
/ eastward toward South Shields. AS IT
drew near Wallsend bombs were
dropped. One of them fell on a rail-
way, narrowly missing crowded pas
senger train on the way to Newcastle.
Between Blyth and Wallsend the
Zeppelin passed over Cramlington and
dropped several bombs in the neigh
/ borhood. One house was set on fire.
Altogether 1t was estimated the raid
lasted about twenty-five minutes. One
man was injured by a she'll splinter at
Choppingtown. =. ~ -
.sS Five bombs were dropped at Wall.
send Two fell in q field. They were
located by q farmer, who handed them
over to the police. Il e. z ~, ~. {.
From Wallsend the raider crossed
the Tyne, and five or six minutes later
was reported at Weston and then at

there was much excitement, there was
no panic. G%s&-..,1

one Of Britain's biggest coal exporting
and shipbuilding centers. = =.
