stance, there is Major Jack Myers of
the marines, one of the heroes of the

the first to scale the great wall to enter

naval cadet under the Territory, the
young man who received the endorse

was stationed at the local naval station
in command of the tug Iroquois. Pay

known chiefly because of his father,
Paymaster Brown Sr. Rear Admiral
