The next raid took place last Saturday night, when two
Zeppelins approached the coast. Only one arrived over England, the other having turned back. This one Zeppelin killed sixteen persons and injured about a hundred. Eight houses were demolished. The third raid took place last Sunday night, when six raiders visited the Northern and South-Eastern Counties of England and also the Scottish coast. Although this raid covered a wide area and lasted about four hours, the casualties were strangely light. One hundred and eighty-eight bombs altogether were dropped. Of these fifty-three were dropped in Scotland, where ten persons were killed and eleven injured. Not a single casualty occurred in England. A fourth raid with no result whatever took place on Monday night. One Zeppelin appears to have come and did not stay long. Explo- sions were heard, but no damage was done to life or property, and only a single bomb has been found.
