I'VE approached the city over a
large stretch of hostile territory, at
tanning the usual high attitudes. The
night was clear. The black mass of
the city was seen far below silhouetted
in the moonlight, astride the curving
Rhine railway.
THE Germans signalled our ap-
rroach and here and there the arches
put up spasmodic shells. AS soon as
we were over the outskirts of the city

rage was bursting in stars of fiery
light When diving the city seemed to
be flying toward US in a black mass
which dissolved as the wider streets
became visible. This split the city into
small masses. 1t seemed as tho we
could almost touch the spires and
chimneys of the buildings. Each brick
and crevice was visible in the moon
light.

THE German gunners depressed
their guns to the lowest possible
angles, but the arches are not mount

of 200 feet, and the hail of shells
burst harmlessly over us, roofing the
squadron with a mantle of smoke, shot

The crashing burst of the barrage or
