Granet and Collins creep from a seaside village to a marshland boat, planting a fuse to illuminate a dark estate. As they reach the creek, distant sentries and a rising alarm erupt, and a sudden blaze reveals the scene before a rifle cracks signaling their urgent withdrawal.
Granet recounts a Zeppelin raid over Market Burnham Hall with bombs dropping on the hall and a night of fire. Collin’s whereabouts remain unknown as Granet and party search, then Granet is summoned to interview with Majors in a tense meeting attended by Sir Mayville and Maj. Thomson, revealing Sursy’s presence.
Maj. Thomson questions Capt. Granet about last night’s events as two men linked to the magnesium light used to guide a Zeppelin are sought. One man lies dead on the lawn, the other remains missing. Granet describes hearing an airship engine and an illumination over marshland before being questioned by armed guards.
