Now one of them has caught the airship, which looks like a small golden cigar.

Both the gondolas can be seen quite distinctly, and the searchlight keeps it well in view, and now a second one has caught it.

It looks as though this air cruiser is hanging motionless in the sky, brilliantly lit up by the searchlights right and left.

Then the guns begin in good earnest.

Shrapnel bursts all around, a wonderful display of fireworks, but it is impossible to say if the aim is good and if the monster is in danger.
