 Born in Orange county, Virginia, in 1887, he early manifested desire for learning and after graduating at the Virginia Military institute, he entered the University of Virginia, where he won the masters degree with high honors. He had been law student at the university, but shortly after leav- ing his alma mater he prepared him. self for the ministry. He filled pas torates in many cities and his voice was often heard in pulpits in this city.

New Name Is Added
 to Galaxy of Heroes

NNTAS there ever more thrilling WV story told of heroism on the sea than the press reports of the way in which the British destroyer Noun sey saved the lives of more than 300 Americans on board the Otranto?
 Despite mountainous waves and a gale which threatened to dash the di- minutive warship against the stricken transport at any moment, Lieutenant Craven repeatedly drove his vessel very close to the Otranto and held her there while scores of men leaped from the rail of the transport to the tossing deck of the destroyer. It was superb seamanship and splendid dar- ing.
 Without giving thought to the peril in which he and the members of his own crew stood-and we may rest assured that his men did not think of their own safety either-Lieutenant Craven disre- garded the warning of Cap tain Davidson of the Otranto and would have shared the fate of their comrades swept into the sea or drowned when the transport went to pieces on the rocks of the south Scot tish coast.
 After four times standing under to receive a veritable "rain of men" who descended from the Otranto, Lieu tenant Craven started to port with his vessel loaded to suffocation.
 In the annals of the sea there is nothing finer. The gallant command CT is in line for promotion and dec oration.
