The Destruction of " L. 43."THE Secretary of the Admiralty issued the following announcement on June 14th :—" Zeppelin ' L. 43 ' Was destroyed this morning by our naval forces in the North Sea. Soon after being attacked she burstinto flames fore and aft, broke in two and fell into the sea. No survivors were seen."An official telegram from Berlin on Saturday stated :— " Naval airship ' L. 43' is missing since Thursday last.According to English reports it was brought down in the North Sea by English naval forces." R.N.A.S. Work in Belgium, &c.THE Admiralty issued the following on June 16th :— " A squadron of our R.N.A.S. machines bombed the St. Denis Westrem Aerodrome this morning. A large numberof bombs were dropped on objective. Very good shooting appeared to have been made. Many direct hits were ob-served, from which dense columns of smoke and flames were seen to rise. All our machines returned safely." Aeroplanes in Naval Scrap. FROM the Admiralty statement refuting the German liesas to the alleged inhumanity of the British commander who sunk the " S20," it emerges that as the German seamenswam away it became necessary to recall the boat which was attempting to rescue the survivors, because three enemyaeroplanes were overhead, apparently about to drop bombs (as was done in similar circumstances when the survivors ofthe " Bliicher " Were being rescued). 628
