FISHERMEN IN WAR TIME 



Li i, and this vessel manoeuvred with the object of 

 getting over the trawler Adelaide, presumably to 

 bomb her. Seeing this purpose the skipper cut 

 away his gear, and freed of this great dragging 

 obstacle he was able to get full speed on his steam- 

 boat and by continuous zig-zagging to escape. 



Baffled in this effort, the airship attacked another 

 of the trawlers, the Lyrine, and very nearly suc- 

 ceeded in destroying her, for a bomb which was 

 dropped missed the little fishing craft by only about 

 thirty yards.
