Once the figures of romance and history, pirates again plague the trade routes of the world. Unlike their forbearers, these rascals attack unarmed shipping and airfreight with little or no risk to their dishonest persons. Our government, along with those of other nations, seems incapable of dealing with these miscreants operating out of uncharted new islands in the Atlantic.
Only last week an airship was taken just one hundred miles west of Cornwall, luckily for the crew and passengers HMAS Eos was nearby to rescue the unfortunate victims.
On the subject of airship, Kaiser Wilhelm launched the new Zepplin battle ship Bismarck yesterday, capable of out gunning anything currently aloft.
Chancellor Bernhard von Bulow stated "Germany leads with a technological leap, once again a Bismarck will take us forward into a new age"
