•The Zeppelin raids are nerve-racking ordeals for certain loeomotive^driyers is the expressed opinion of a man from 'London. It seems that the method adopted by recent raiding Zeppelins to find London at night time was to make, land at a certain watering place and follow the night train to the capital. All the train lights were out, but in the darkness it was impossible to prevent some glow being visible from the locomotive. The great Zeppelins swept down and flew along a short distance above the train, guided by the faint illumination from the engine. So close were the Zeppelins that a hastily-opened furnace door threw a reflection on^the pursuing Zeppelin. It was a strain .on the. driver to find that his greatest speed did not serve to shake off the repulsive presence of the gliding bomb carriers. The Zeppelins overshadowed the trains with repulsive tenacity. On more than one occasion a train- had to pull up for the purpose of drivers whose nerves had collapsed under the trying strain. Such is said to he one of the weird methods by which Zeppelins find their destination at night time. ;
