The bomb on the pave- ment appears to have exploded side- ways. At any rate, 'the damage done, which consisted mostly of bro- ken glass and plaster, occurred main- ly in the houses on the other side of the street. The bomb which drop- ped on the roof of the building itself did little damage. "In the same area a bomb was dropped on the roof of a small hotel, the ground floor of which was occu- pied as an office. - The whole of the hotel, which consisted of three floors {of the building, was entirely blown | ap. Fortunately, in this area those | indoors had been warned by the sound of previous explosions, and by taking refuge in the lower floor they { escaped injury. In this area, as by a curious coincidence in one other, the effect of the bombs was severely felt in a small restaurant opened in the interests of Belgian réfugees. "The fourth district in which dam- age was done is one consisting en- tirely of what may be called working class property, with small low build- ings, some of them used to house small shops of various business, but in most cases occupied, and in | many cases overcrowded, by private residents of the poorer classes. Little Traders Heavy Losers. "In this area more bombs were dropped than in those previously de- scribed, and the damage done was ex- { clusively suffered by private traders or householders, who behaved with the utmost heroism and coolness, land who suffered damage and, in | some cases, loss of life, with no com- { pensating military value for the en- lemy. One group of small houses in {this area was entirely destroyed by a single explosive bomb. "In another spot in this district a bomb fell on top of a building used for keeping dairy cattle. None of the cattle were killed, though one of them was injured. The dairyman, with presence of mind and coolness, made his way to the top story of his house nearby, in which all the win- dows were broken and most of the ceilings destroyed by the force of the explosion, and brought down his chil- dren to safety below. On his way downstairs on the last journey a fur- ther explosion blew him backwards on to the floor of one of the rooms." "In the last area covered by the raid---this time in a suburb--there is not a single factory or business house and hardly any shops. There are no military encampments, no store sheds, no aerial defence, and not even searchlights. All the property con- sists of detached and semi-detached house$ surrounded by small gardens. It was in this district that, for some obscure reason, the largest number of bombs were dropped, and they {must have been launched by what the commander of a Zeppelin in his interview on the last raid deseribed as 'rapid fire. "The actual period of bombard- { ment did not last a minute, and the distance from the spot where the first bomb dropped to the last could not have been more than 600 yards. Within sixty yards no less than five fell together, while nearby three fell {im a single garden which did not | measure more than thirty yards square. Concussion Destroys Houses. | "The striking and fortunate fea- | ture of the bombardment in this dis- | trict, and, indeed, of the whole attack on this occasion, is the number of {cases in which bombs dropped, not {on the buildings, but on the ground. {In only three cases in this suburban Masonic Hall here was largely at- | area were houses actually struck, tended, and was one of the principal | though, of course, the force of the features of the series of patriotic | explosions was. sufficient to destroy meetings held in Prince Edward The sergeant was suspend- i county. A deeply earnest and prac- tical address was delivered by Nelson Parliament, the local representative in the Legislature. So favorable has been the impression created that Mr. Parliament is now receiving many in- vitations to address meetings at out- side' points. Rev, W. R. Archer, B.A, of the Methodist Church, Wel- lington, will preach at Point Petre. SHOOTING ACCIDENT. ------ -- Ogle Webster Shot Through Arm A A Smith's raid ac. oct. 18.--A shooting accidefft occurred near here on Friday afternoon to Ogle Web- ster, of the Citizen's Electric Light Co.
