ton, the Navy Cross, by Undersec-
retary of the Navy Artemus L. Gates
after the reading of one of the
briefest citations on record in a
ceremony at the Navy Department
today.
For distinguished and heroic
conduct in the line of his profession
in the defense of Wake Island, De-
cember to %, 1941."
AS the colonel stood smartly at
attention, Mr.. Gates pinned the

ereux's superior officer; 1t. Col

in the Marine garrison on Wake:
Maj. William Wallis Lewis. Cul-
pepper. Va, and Capt. Clarence A.
Barninger, jr. 4236 Forty third
street NV, who were lieutenants in
the Wake Marine garrison.
In brief press conference that
followed the ceremony, Mr. Gates
asked Col. DevereuX how many
Jap ships were sunk at Wake
It's hard to say, Mr.. Gates, how
many Jap ships we sank" said
Col. Devereux, Il would like to talk
that over with Capt. Cunningham
We thought, all told, we sank about
10 Japanese ships, including sub
marines. We were told later that
the Japs acknowledged loss of H.
Capt, Cunningham told of the
message he received on December
23. the final day which meant that
all hope for Wake had to be aban-
doned.
No Friendly Ships Near.
The message from feet head
quaters read: mo friendly vessels
in your vicinity"
He added that there were two
American submarines at Wake, but
one of them became an early cas-
ualty. Thinking he still had sub
marine under his command as the
japanese ships were closing in, he
directed it to go after the Japs. 1t
was then that he received the dis
couraging information from head
quarters
He said patrol plane from Mid
way landed at Wake December 20
with the encouraging news that the
carrier Saratoga and a task force
were steaming to Wake to relieve
them.
When we got that message on
the 23d which meant that not only
was there no Saratoga, but no sub
marine, we knew it was all up
Capt. Cunningham used Wake Is
