MACHINE HURRIES OFF WITHOUT DROPPING BOMBS. D" Telegraph—Presß Association— (Received April 25. 9.35 p.m.) London, April 25. Three Zeppelins visited the eastern counties of England. A few incendiary bombs were dropped. London, April 24. A hostile aeroplane appeared over Dover this morning from the east and circled over the town at a height estimated at 6000 ft. Anti-aircraft guns drove the machine off. No bombs were dropped. The raid caused immense excitement. There were large numbers of holiday-makers in Dover, and they flocked into the streets in thousands, despite the regulations. Gunfire was the first intimation to the people that a Taube was visible, and by the use of glasses the aeroplane could be seen hurrying seaward.
