The airship from La Patrie, noted by Lloyd's Weekly News, descended after a machinery mishap near Verdun. A strong gale later blew it off course and its crew attempted repairs while passengers remained aboard. A derailment of the motor forced descent near a South Essex railway station.
Telegraphed gendarmerie watched the airship La Patrie as soldiers held it down near Fort Lauterant. A torn envelope and damaged machinery from Paris delayed repairs. Despite efforts by 200 men to hold the craft, a huge gust sent it skyward, tearing equipment and sending the airship drifting over Cardigan and Carmarthen, with wings and a shaft detaching and falling. It was later sighted off Islay, moving north-northwest toward Scotland, after debris and components scattered near Ballydayny and Craigavad.
