during a raid over England.
Crew Made Prisoners
Not only was the Zeppelin Lis brought
down by an English gunner. but when
the great airship fell in the Thames
estuary patrol boat was promptly on
the scene and the Zeppelin's crew were
taken prisoners
The Lis belonged to squadron of five
which threw bombs over the eastern
injuring "A more.
The Identity of the wrecked zeppelin
and other details of the raid were dis
closed in the following official state
ment:
1T has now been ascertained that the
Zeppelins which carried out the air raid
last night were organized in two squad
rons and one detached ship. The two
squadrons made the eastern counties
their objective, while the detached ship
raided the northeast coast.

plosive and incendiary bombs were drop

the northeast coast

She was hit by gunfre while over the
eastern counties, a shell striking the up
per part of the ship near the tail. After
being hit she quickly dropped to lower
altitude, we'll down by the tail, and A.
nally came down into the sea OF the
coast of Kent.
"A machine gun, some ammunition,
a petrol tank riddled with shrapnel.
and some machinery, was dropped
either by this vessel or by another Of
the raiders.

The German prisoners from the de-
stroyed Zeppelin LIS number II, with
their commander. All the prisoners
were youthful in appearance and
cheerful. The commander wore the
Iron Cross.
Some of them related their expert
ences quite freely and asserted that
the crew drew lots to decide who
should remain behind and blow up
the Zeppelin when it was found that
the airship could fly no farther. The
task fell to junior officer. whose duty
