AIRSHIP DISASTER.
MOVING SCENES AT HULL. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Sept. C. There were moving scenes at Hull when the embalmed bodies of sixteen American airmen were entrained for Devonport. The wreaths included one inscribed “From shipmates left behind at Howden aerodrome,” which was in the form of an airship. Mrs. Coil’s wreath was inscribed: “Dearest, till we meet again.” She collapsed at the station and had to be carried away. Thousands lined the route. Each coffin was covered with the Stars and Stripes and escorted by a party of British and American officers.
