A Balloon and Asceptic
A thrilling account of how a foreign war balloon attempted to
blow up London, and met its match in a most unexpected quarter.
ON the night of the 16th of December, 1917, England waited in anxiety and terror for news of war.
The quarrel with her great neighbour had begun prosaically enough in the Extradition Court at Bow Street, had moved west by easy stages to Downing Street, and had finally reached Whitehall, when elderly worried men in mufti sat in council before Ordnance maps marked with tiny flags.
And the presses of Fleet Street thundered out hourly specials, and restless crowds loitered about public offices. In the theatres great audiences suspended their attention to the stage, whilst white-shirt-fronted managers read telegrams and messages conveying the latest intelligence. For England was on the verge of war, and the equipment of three army corps stood parked on Laffan's Plain.
