Show ; A HERO EVERY DAY ! Brave Deeds of Men in America's Fighting Forces. ,. Perilous work falls to the lot of the men of the navy on patrol and convoy duty in the war zone of the Atlantic. 'Always 'Al-ways open to attack from the enemy's suhrfrarlnes, they take the extra hazard of having to sail their craft in black darkness, dark-ness, for no lights are allowed. It was when the United States destroyer Chaun-cey Chaun-cey was steaming without lights that she collided with- a British vessel, the Rose. The after portion of the American vessel was submerged. Those in the forward part of the ship were saved. Among the men who made the supreme sacrifice, losing los-ing his life to save those of others, was Ensign Harry G. Skinner, Jr., of the United States naval reserve force. He was a native of Baltimore, Md., and enlisted en-listed May 3, 1S117. His mother. Mrs. Harry G. Skinner, lives at Mount Washington, Wash-ington, Md. . , |
