DREDGE HANDS SEE AN AIR SHIP.Per Press Association GORE, July 30. Two dredge hands engaged on the night shift on Syndicate No. 2 dredge were accorded a view of the air ship at 5 a.m. at close quarters. They state that the ship lowered through the mist and circled round the vicinity, and that two figures were plainly discernible on board. She was carrying lights at both ends. After the visitor had manoeuvred, she shot upwards. A yellow glare was noticed. The weather clearing a little, she was seen travelling in a south-easterly direction. |
