fourteentlr century church was missed by
Jrarely 100 yards The conrUMton shat

the church.
It seems thnt tho aircraft travelllnB
toward (unstanton and Lynn steered by
i locomllve, trylni; tn kerp paco with
ii train whose Uchts were visible. The
driver of the locontlve was aware of
tho enemy overhead and crowding jii
Meam to the utmost won tho race. The
Invader Is said to have approached Iyim
it an elevation of only .100 feet.
Tho bombs which exploded were tre
mendously powerful. This was shown by
the destruction of the tfciate and (lazley
Jiouses. One bomb fell mnontc the docks
njid destroyel the hydraulic shed, stoji
ldnir Oio machinery. It was Intended
probably to wreck the Anglo-American
111 Company's detKit, tho Hontlnck Iock,
the post office and tho railroad station.
'Welirheil Prom 00 to IOI I'onnda,
An examination of unexploded bombs
wnd of fragment of bombs soi part way
toward answering the question us to what
"ipe of airship was used In tho raid.
Aeronautical exporta believe that alr
Milp of the small, non-rigid l'arseval
i' pe were rmployl. They are slower
than Zeppelins nnd can carry less am
munition, but they are nutnufactuied
tulckly, The bombs, dropped weighed
.rier sixty to 100 i-ounds each.
On tho other hand, ono of the bombs
I .in two propellers and wm of the type
i ed In aerial torpedo tubes uch as aro
' ttd to Zeppelin". The destructive re
- ills on Die tlsh wharf and on St Peter's
J'lain at Yarmouth leml more color to
the Zeppelin theorj.
Apparently the raiders, described In the
'ietniati olllcial report ut naval airships,
ualch mlg'ht mean either Parsevals or
Zeppelin!-, dropped twenty bombs. It !s
i ii known that only four persons were
: died and that ten were Injured. Yar
mouth and Kings Lynn were most dam
aged. The most authoritative statement as to
the type of aircraft comes from Major
stley, commanding the National Reserves
it King's Lynn. He will report olllclnlly
fiat one of the latest Zeppelin types flew
over that town.
Tho explosive employed has not heen
nalyied, but whatever Its constituents
vero It was extraordlnarllj powerful. From
nc of the bombs which did not explode
lumps of a yellowish suhftancc were taken
lid distributed as souvenirs. A teamster,
(hiding a bomb lying under tho feet of
nis horse, carelessly kicked It to on
Ido and drove on, Ignorant of the nature
of the object.
Although the damago was Insignificant
'hero are numerous stmries as to the ex
lent of tho broken glass damage. The
bomb which killed an old man and an old
woman at Yarmouth made such a hole
In tho street in front of the house that
the front of the house collapt-fd Into the
bole. The shoemaker who was killed had
ventured Into tho street to nee. what wa.
going on. A piece of sb-H toro through
Ills head and embedded Itself in the wull
of his shop The dfck of n small steamer
Ivlng at a dock was riddled by steel
fragments.
Ft. Peter's Church In Yarmouth was
damaged, the whole of the windows on
one side being shattered. In St. Peter's
villa, which was partly wrecked, a man
scaped with nothing worse than a scalp
wound. H was pinned under wreckage
or several hours before bo was rescued.
Portions of Yarmouth and King's Lynn

The (lerman raiders were, over tho Nor

me of thiTfo, which did not explode, was
ebout four Inches In diameter. It was
.one shaped and weighed six pounds. The
iilse had become detached, probably frm
ontuot with telephone wires.
Conduct of Citizen I'mlaeil.
Bo far as Is now Known, no one was
Killed In any of the other towns or villages
i-slted. At King's Lynn the greatest
tarmgo was done In a row of houses In
ilentlnek street, where the two live were
'ot Homo damage was done In Albert
treet, where an exploding bomb dug a
oolo ten feet In diameter nnd four feet
itep. A small lire started In f'resswell
-treet, but It was quickly extinguished.
Tho authorities ure rnthuslastle In
heir praise of tho enduct of tho cltl-

there was some panic and much useless
itinnlng to nnd fro. Hut when thn po
lice and militia took hold, as they did
