One eye-witness has stated that it was just after daybreak when from the east coast a German airship was seen, travelling slowly from the west. As she passed over the coast the sound of heavy firing was heard, and soon, over a low bank of mist some distance out to sea, a great burst of flame was seen and the stricken raider fell blazing into the sea. A little later a British airman flew in from the sea and descended on the coast. He was given a tremendous ovation. Townspeople carried him shoulder high through streets crowded with cheering people, while sirens of shipping shrieked triumphantly. ‘The defence was extraordinarily powerful,’ said an official report of the raid issued in Berlin. Such praise from the enemy speaks volumes! At noon on the following day a German aeroplane managed to reach London and drop bombs. But the fate of this raider also was sealed. On its return journey if fell a victim to our gallant French Allies. Who can now doubt that supremacy in the air is with the Entente? Whether in dealing with raiders by night or enemy machines on the western battle-front by day, our heroic allied aviators have proved their superiority. The names of the heroic naval aviators who brought down the German airship in the manner described are Flight-Sub-Lieutenant E. L. Pulling, Flight-Lieutenant E. Cadbury, and Flight-Lieutenant G. W. R. Fane. The first named officer has been awarded the Distinguished Service Order. His age at the time of his heroic deed was twenty-six years. He was formerly in the Government wireless service, and he received his commission in the Royal Naval Air Service on August 21, 1915. Tireless energy and boundless enthusiasm, combined with great courage, mark him out as an aviator of high promise. Flight-Lieutenant Egbert Cadbury was twenty-three years of age at the time of receiving the Distinguished Service Cross. At the outbreak of war he left Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was studying for the law, and joined the _Zarifa_ as an A.B., the vessel being a converted yacht manned mostly by Cambridge men. After nearly a year at sea he entered the R.N.A.S., gained his pilot’s certificate, and was stationed on the East Coast. He is the youngest son of Mr. George Cadbury. Flight-Lieutenant Fane joined the Royal Naval Air Service in July, 1915, as a Flight-Sub-Lieutenant. He came straight from Charterhouse and was only nineteen years of age at the time of being decorated. His fellow-airmen speak of him as a pilot of remarkable skill and courage. In February, 1917, whilst these pages were in proof, it was announced that the first of the officers named above, Flight-Lieutenant E. L. Pulling, D.S.O., had made the ‘supreme sacrifice.’ Another body!—Oh, new limbs are ready, Free, pure, instinct with soul through every nerve. _Printed by Jarrold & Sons, Ltd., Norwich, England_
