When the city Of Norfolk, Va, was
threatened with the complete destruc-
ton by fire of its thriving business
section early in January, every avail
able fire-fghting force at hand and
from nearby towns was called into the
battle. At the height Of the fire the
enlisted men Of the United States
navy on duty at the navy yard and In
the harbor were called on to help not
only in subduing the flames but con-
trolling the crowds. To a ia they
gave a splendid account of themselves.
Among these men was John Joseph
Mclaughlin, q chief boatswain's mate.
Although he had worked all night, had
narrow escapes and was drenched to
the skin with lce-cold water, McLough.
lin declined q relief when 1t was Of
fered and remained on duty continu.
ously until the danger was passed,
For this conspicuous service he has
been commended by Secretary of the
Navy Daniels. Mclaughlin enlisted
