setting lire to it.
The rockets must be driven up with
tremendous force, probably from a
gun, for they rise to a height of 10,
oOO ieet, and can be placed with great
accuracy. The lireballs appear to be
about a foot in diameter. As they’
rise they are otten caught by the
wind,.assume beautiful curves. Some
times the whole line topples and turns
he lore it vanishes, lloating i or a few
moments like a row of strange green
Japanese lanterns. It is supposed
that the balls are supported in the
air by small parachutes.
Thousands of these chain-rockets
are bred by the Germans on every
occasion when the Kntente airmen at
tack a town or camp. They are part
of the regular shrapnel barrage which
is used to hamper the attackers; but
they give a much more spectacular
effect that) the bursting shrapnel,
which only gives momentary Hash in
the sky and then is gone.
If a machine is caught by a search
ight, hundreds of the chain-rockets
ire straightway sent up towards it.
I hey make a remarkable spectacle i
is they are seen climbing up the sky ;
mil passing one by one across the
>eams of light, and finally appearing
n their appointed station in the up
jer darkness.
British airmen declare that the
sensation of having these chain
ockets rird at them is rather pleas
mt than otherwise. It is difficult to
lelieve that anything so fantastic,
>oautiful and fairy-like, can be really
langerous. On a cloudy night, it is
mid, nothing is pleasanter than to
loat over the rolling clouds and to
vatch the green chain-rockets pierce
he mist here and there, casting a
veird radiance over the mountains |
