stoker,s Act Of Bravery.

In these days of undersea warfare,
when the blow is often struck without
warning, new danger Is added to the
already hazardous tasks of the ships
firemen. Speed Is an essential in
beating the U-boat, and this requires
constant work. Recently the bottom
blow valve of boiler was carried away
on vessel of the United States navy.
One Of the crew was Aloysius Fawcett,
a Herman, first class. With two others
he made his way through steam-filled
fireroom and fought passage through
hot cloud In the engine room. Here
he helped haul the fires at critical
moment. The nerve and quickness of
the act saved the boiler and the ves-
sci from serious accident. Fawcett en-
listed in the navy in 1911 at Cincin-
natl.
