30 SEPTEMBER 1916, Page 3

During last Saturday and Sunday's raid there were many incidents

both humorous and picturesque. Though the second Zeppelin to be brought down in flames did not secure quite so splendid a setting as the first, it was seen by a very large number of people, and a similar pageant of the air took place. The fire was seen to break out in the Zeppelin, and then to run along her back, and finally the great ship plunged head down in fire, the whole process taking this time about five minutes. Curiously enough, whether by accident or design, the officer in command of the Zeppelin seems to have been thrown from, or to have jumped from, the gondola before it reached the earth. His body was discovered with but few marks of burning on it a little way from the twisted ruins of his ship.
