A COMPLETE FAILURE.

As stated in our Second Edition last night. Zeppelins raided the Northum berland coast bute on Wednesday night.

LONDON, April 15,

Bombs were dropped on Blyth and Wallsend. The town of North Shields was in darkness in anticipation of a raid.

A Newcastle telegram states that the Zeppelin was sighted at eight o'clock in the evening. It passed quietly over Blyth and dropped twenty bombs on a colliery in the district, a few miles irland. The only damage done was to cause light free which were quickly extinguished, and a cycle was smashed. There WeDo no casualties.

The Zeppelin disappeared seaward. The district throughout was in shark- ness, but everything was normal by eleven in the evening.

LITTLE DAMAGE DONE.

The inhabitants of Blyth thought that the Zeppelin was a British air reseal, as it crased the town quietly. But, shortly afterwards, they were undeceived when they saw thashes and heard an explosion a few miles inland.

Eight bombs were dropped on Choppington, Bedlington and Seston-de- Laval, het the only damage done was the setting fire to a stack of hay.

Other boobs were dropped on Annitaford, Seaton Burn, and Killingworth. but the only damage done as the setting fire to an outhouse at Seaton Burn, which was quickly extinguished.

The airship then went towards the Tyne.

Two bombs which were dropped at Benton fell into a field mashing a cycle, a splinter alightly injuring the cyclist.

Six bombs were dropped sa Wallsand, causing four small fires. One fell

ca a house and brought down the ceiling,

Another caused a fire on the railway delaying the traffic for a few minutes. The ship which crossed the Tyne dropped two bomba without causing

Many damage, and then returned seawarda.

The lights were extinguished in the towns, the trams were stopped and the teleplicue service was also suspended during the visitation.

No lives were lost.

Nons Kined and Nowe Sarlously Hart.

All reports give tribute to the exemplary' behaviour of the people during the raid. There was in trier of fear or panic. Precautions were taken quietly, specility and successfully. The latest estimates that the damage was trifling is confirm. No one was killed and no one seriously bart. The bombs were most of an incendiary mature, eighteen inches long. The appearance of the Zeppelin proved a great attraction ut a terruiting toting at Blyth. A clergyman, speaking when the air ship was observed, turned the incident to good account.
