Corps: _ - -- 11.15 p. m.-"A 'Zeppelin is report- ed at -*, travelling due west at ll p. m. Height estimated, 9,000." 11.35 p. ln.-“A Zeppelin passed- -, at 11.10 p. m. travelling N .W. Height estimated 9,000.” The above message supplied me with enough _preliminary data to or- galllze the chase. In a few minutes the varying burr of different types of aero- planes could be heard along most of the British front. It was pitch dark, and as we got clear of tile aerodrome only the faint- est outline of a nearby forest was dis- cernible. There were broken clouds. about at low altitudes. As we climb- ed through these they gave us an un- canny moistness which bespoke gath- ering rain. In a flew minutes there was notlillillg to guide us except the ill- struments antl the tinlnle. Going for height ill these conditions is a tedious business. for there is noth- ing to do except to spscuiate nlore or less vaguely on one's drift and its re- lation to one's course. What a relief it is when one suddellly descrles the lights of a town and gradually with increasing height other towns swim into one's ken! Searchlight: A cloud in ffront suddenly blazes up as though by magic. It is an enemy searchlight. He has information of our quest and casts his great streams of white light all over the upper at- mosphere. The shaft disappears.but a moment later finds us with a daz- zling flash. A sudden dive ilnd s rapid turn clear us of its course.. In about twenty seconds the "Arcllies" begin. The whole areo through which we have just passed is filled with shells. They burst in groups and processions. some throwing out a syrupy stream of “dead-dog flames," some bursting like huge rockets, almost mesmerising with their dazzling rays reflected from the background of leilfy cloudlets. But thetsearchlight cannot follow us. I-Ie fairly scans the sky, and suddenly picks up with another machine. This time he stays on, and “Arcliie" gets much better data for his work. I We are still going for height. taking in large sweeps throtlgh which it would be impossible for hostile air- craft to elude us. Tile searclilight has lost_ the other machine alld plays on the base of a gathering cluod a thou- lllnd feet below us. The Zeppe||n’s Ears On the eastern llorizen there is a gleam of new light as the moon strug- gles up. But well below tllat horizon someone is flashing out a signal ob- viously men t for aircrafft. It is tile first cluue ol) the “Zep." We are bear- ing towards it with all possible speed. Tile other machine has disappeared, probably following another clue. Long before we are anywhere near its position the signalling ceases. We now speculate on the probable direc- tion of the "Zep." In a few millutes it will be light enough to see. but turned outwards to avoid his I what we reckoned to be tl a stray shot But even t is I Their fate we shall never know. The lllent. it was one oi' the uncertainties _of air warfare with which there can 'be ilo reckoning. We continued our search until the early gleam of sunrise found us out to sea. Tile clouds had thinned out into ,scattered ribs. Tile enemy aircraft had disappeared. Only the occasiollal puff of a bursting shell accompanied us ill otir lonely excursion. We went lhlhle 10 l‘@D0l‘I. “somewhere in lirallce." . \ BATTLE EMOTIONS A Lolldon Territorial describing his experiences at the front write: "We had gone into the trenclles round Ypres only a few days before," Ile said, “alld my first experience of the realities of war was to lie patient- ly suffering all awful inactivity while tile artillery oil both sides belclled destruction on the men facing each other in the trenches. It was surpris- ing, however, Ilow little we suffered from the Germall shells, although at times one would burst ill the trenches, lturling showers of earth lllto the air alld wiping out the men round about. "As dawil broke I felt an ullcon- trollable desire to climb out of the trencll into the open, but I knew it was courting death, as I saw the next moment, Tile man nearest me raised his head above the parapet, and lu all instant was bagged bu s sniper. He rolled over with a stifled murmur, alld lay quite still, with his face bur- ied in the soft red earth. I turlied him over and spoke to him, but he was quite dead, with a hole in- his fore- head. A LIFETIME IN AN HOUR. "The men around me sllowed their emotions in their faces. Some were excited and showed an almost exag- gerated enthuslasm for the work ill hand. They laughed and joked and kept looking impatiently ut their watches. Others, the majority - of whom I was one-were strangely si- lelit. I can lloilestly say I felt no actual fear, but I could not help re- membering that ill il short time our number would probably be reduced by half, and I was prepared for the worst, I wondered ifl should fall ill the open from the inferno of fire from the German machine guns or whether I should get a taste of hand-to-hand fighting. “It was dark now and the enemy's searchligllts begun to sweep our posi- tions. Two more minutes and we should leap from our trenches. The bombardment reached its height, and then, with a wild, vicious roar, which seemed to open the heavens, it ceased. The moment had arrived. The order was given, and we scrambled over the parapet. The enemy's machine guns began to spit fire among our rllnks, but no one wavered. _ If ws had felt ally fear it had now left us. Men fell on all hallds, but with a yell we rush- ed forward with bared stell towards the raised groulld. THE FIRST KILL “Our artillery had done its work well, for we found the .wire defences almost completely blown away. We reached the enemym‘s front trenches. and I raised my bayonet as a big Bavarian made to tire at me. Then something within me made me hesi-` tate. and a comrade laid the man out just ill time. In the thick of the fight it had just dawned on me that I was about to take a human life for the first time. and I had felt a momentary' repugnance.
