Even before it began. the airship had started emitting clouds of steam or gas in an endeavor to conceal itself and to this must have been due the fact that very small number of shell bursts-considering the guns in action-were visible. The trailing white cloud was mottled with bright flashes inside it, however, and from the fact that these were above, below, and at boh ends of the fugitive gas bag, there was no doubt that the latter was receiving its full share of the spiteful missiles directed at 1t. So far as 1 observed, none of the shots fell far short or went wide to any great length, as had those of the early raids. The problem of ranging and hitting the Zeppelin had undoubtedly been solved; it was now a question have.
 I did not time it, but my impression is that the sudden burst of firing did not continue longer than a minute or two. This fact, and the fact that the airship must have been we'll within range of many guns when the firing ceased, inclines me strongly to the belief that it was not Q part of the plan to bring the raider down. but merely to disable it sufficiently to make it the easier prey for the aero

 Partly aided by hts own swelling clouds of gas, partly by the lowering fringes of the shifting cumuli the raider disappeared from sight four or five minutes after the firing ceased, but not before I had been able plainly some reduction in its altitude. Twice or thrice swift shadows cutting the shafts of wheeling searchlights had given sure hint of the aerial ambush preparing, and I was somewhat sur prised that so much as nine or ten minutes elapsed before quick red yellow fash of light in the .. sky told that the coup de grace had finally been given. For six or eight seconds this light spread-evidently inside the outer envelope-until the whole body of the Zeppelin was out lined in smoldering fire Then there seemed to be a great explosion though I heard no sound of it-a ho. seyser of flame shot skyward and the frame of the airship upended and began to fall. throwing a light strong enough to cast shadows in the rosy glow that played over Londol-L.
