ZEPPELIN RAIDS

AIRSHIP OVER AMMANFORD?

The magnitude of the sea battle and its results have so completely over-shadowed the Zeppelin raid upon Yarmouth and other towns along the east coast, that little or nothing is now heard and read of that flight of the Teutons.

But for a day or two that was the chief topic of discussion. The authorities found it advisable to take certain steps in the seaport towns of the Bristol Channel with a view to exercising control over the public and private lighting in case of an aerial raid.

Some people were pusillanimous enough to believe that a visitation from above was imminent, and, even in Ammanford several residents aver that an airship passed over the town in the early hours of Friday morning.

There is no limit to man's creative genius.
