Vincent Skalar writes us from Brem-
erton, Washington, where he is on the
q. S. S. West Virginia and calls our
attention to an error made in the
Miner two weeks ago. He says he is
not "chief fireman" as stated in the
Miner but that he was fortunate in
making 'machinist's mate hrst-class"
last February. He will hold that rate
for two years before he is eligible to
go UP for chief machinist's mate. He
also says that upon completion of a
short yard period at Bremerton the |
ship will be moved to some other point |
he believes.
