OTHER AIRSHIPS REPORTED TO BE BADLY DAMAGED.
ONE DRIFTS OVER EAST COAST WITH KEEL VERTICAL, ,
DANES REPORT THAT ZEPPELIN PROBABLY FELL INTO SEA.
Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. LONDON. September d. There is the strongest reason to believe that another of the raiding Zeppelins was seriously damaged-
An innkeeper reported that a Zeppelin was seen from an East Coast port drifting seawards with her keel vertical. According to a message from Copenhagen fishermen from Esberg report that they saw five Zeppelins on Saturday forenoon off the Island of Sylt going very slowly. The crews were throwing articles overboard in order to keep afloat. One Zeppelin was severely damaged, and the fishermen believe that it fell into the sea between Sylt and the Schleswig coast.
