Zeppelins visited the East Anglian and Kent coasts early last
Sunday morning. In Kent two persons were killed and sixteen injured. The Zeppelin which visited the East Coast was held off by heavy gun-fire and was apparently damaged. A pilot of the R.F.C. then gave the coup de grace and the Zeppelin fell in flames. There were no survivors. The Zeppelin commander was the well- known air-raider Captain V. Schiitze. As a Zeppelin was also brought down by our naval forces in the North Sea in the middle of last week, the toll of German airships mounts up.
