The Spectator at war: Terror without panic

From ‘News of the Week’, The Spectator, 23 January 1915:

WE have written elsewhere of the raid by German airships on Tuesday night, but may mention here the bare facts. The airships, of which there were apparently three, were seen at 1.30 in the afternoon off the Dutch coast, and they must have reached England after dark. Their presence was unsuspected till bombs began to fall on Yarmouth about 8.30. Considerable damage was done to houses, but some of the bombs did not explode. One bomb actually went right through a house without injuring anybody. A men and a woman, however, were killed. Later King’s Lynn was visited by the airships, which on the way dropped bombs near Brancaster, Heacham, Snettisham, and Sandringham. Hunstanton escaped, having probably been overlooked as it was in darkness. It is suggested that Heacham was mistaken for Hunstanton. At Lynn a boy and a woman were killed, and about one hundred and fifty houses were damaged.
