ATTEMPTTO ESCAPE DANGER Enemy Ship Becomes a Twitted and Dirty Wreck After Bomb From Above 8trlkea It? All In the Day's Work London. ? To the observer in the rear cockpit of the fast British bomb ing machine the scene hardly appeared to change from minute to minute. The engine roared, the sunlight came slant ing in onto his knees, a biting wind heat 'on his face, and below was the slightly hasy surface of the sea, while to the right lay the dim llj?e of the Belgian coast, which swept away to the wider silver reaches of the Scheldt estuary. Ahead of him two British machines dew In tho same direction, with their propellers seeming to re volve lazily, as they always do when seen from another, machine. The ob server continually scunned the air ahovo and below the machine, and ex amined every now and then the sur face of the sea. Suddenly tho front machine turned to the right and began to fly toward tho coast. Its occupants had evidently aeert something of Importance. Look ing below, the observer of the back machine saw a few miles from the Zeebrugge mole six little shapes whlcl^ seemed stationary on the gray sea. German Destroyers. They were German destroyers which were In reality steaming at top speed toward the coast Gradually tho air planes drew nearer and nearer and soon were but a few miles from the land. Near the front machine appeared a small black ball of smoke. Another appeared, and another, and the ob server could hear the sharp crack of tho bursting shells. A moment later the second machine entered the zone of bursting shells, pome leaving white smoke, ntjd others leaving black or ( evil-looking yellow vapor. Along the coast line he could see the little red flushes of the anti-aircraft batteries. Now, however, they were almost over the destroyers, which were beginning to zigzag as the danger of the com ing attack was realized. | The observer saw six black cylin ders drop spinning from the front ma ! chine, and then, with his two reins round the pilot's arms in front, he steered the machine to the right and i left ax he watched the destroyer through' the wires and bars of his bomb sight. Even as ho was direct ing the machine he saw the great white clouds of steam, smoke and wa ter leap up from the sea near the de stroyer. The second destroyer, which was 1 now steering an almost direct course, appeared below his range bars. Ho turned the pilot slightly to the right in order thut he might allow for the speed of the boat, and slowly pushed over his bomb levers, one by one. Be low the wings he had a momentary glimpse of the yellow, flsh-llke bombs rushing downward. He shouted to the pilot, and they turned quickly away from the Inferno of shells which were bursting all around them. Score* Direct Hit. The observer stood up and watched intently what was going on below. Near the destroyers appeared the white smoke and spray of a bomb. Another followed, and another. Then on one of (he destroyers a great red flash appeared and the center of the boat was left clouded in smoke. He had scored one direct hit. He shouted excitedly to the pilot as one of the destroyers dropped out of line and made swiftly for its mortally wounded consort. Tho llritish airplanes returned and reportod what had hanpened. A pa trol returning a few hmirs later stat ed that they had seen five German de stroyers returning toward Ostend. By then the sixth, torn and shattered, lay with many another twisted and rusty companion, under the sea.
