The enemy's vessel or vessels flew high, at an altitude chosen; no doubt, | in order to prevent as far ds possible | the danger of damage or destruction | from anti-air craft guns! "The darkening of the metropoli- tan area, together with the height at which the aircraft travelled, cer-| tainly prevented the enemy from dis- | covering the exact position of places of importance. "As on the last occasion the offic- | ial report issued in Berlin proves the | raiders to have been grossly in error in most cases as to where they were dropping toeir bombs, and if we can suppose that they had really some definite objective other than mere haphazard destruction of the lives and property of non-combatants then, owing to the height at which the previous occasions. The official | warnings to take refuge were better | observed, and when the air craft passed and the guns ceased firing most of the people who, had 'been watching the bombardment went quickly to bed, and were undisturbed | by tke second' raid, which took place 'about midnight in another part of | the Lofidon area. | "When tlie results of the raid were examined next morning, five, distinet areas could be distinguished in which damage was done. The first of these is an area im which there is litt.e or no residential p-o- perty, some large buildings davot- ed to various kinds of business, and comparatively wide streets, In this area bombs were dropped containing| high explosives, which in fous caves fell upon the streets, and in the fifth upon the back premises <f oue large building thronged with peopie. } "One of the brmbs, which appar-| ently was of -jarze size, penetrited the street into the subways con'ain~, ing gas and gos pipes, setting alight a fire, which, though light in extent, lasted for several hours. "The explosion of this bomb dam- eged the buildings round about con-| siderably and destroyed almost ail the glass in the neighborhood. It also was responsible for a number of casualties, which will all be the subject of an inquest.
