Show Boy of Eighteen Gets Action. Midshipman J. L. Storey, a boy of perhaps eighteen, the sole surviving officer of the Queen Mary, reported to his C. O. on the loss of his ship ! That midshipman, by the way, bore a charmed life. At Jutland he was picked up unconscious after sinking twice. He was with Cradock at the battle of Coronel, escaping in the Glasgow after the flagship and the Monmouth had been sunk with not a man saved ; with Sturdee in the battle bat-tle of the Falklauds, and in many engagements in the Dardanelles. And, aiter all, he was the sole surviving officer. of one of our largest ships. London Saturday Review. |
