“He was the youngest officer there and naturally I started a conversation with him,” she said. A week later they were engaged and a year later they were married. The last time she saw him was last August, when he was appointed commander of Motor Torpedo Division 15. Her last letter from him was received last Dec. 8. He was] in a hospital, being treated tor an] infected tooth. “I was a pretty sick boy, and I have two more teeth to go,” he wrote. He reminded her that their daughter must never have such trouble and cautioned Mrs. Bulkeley: “Joan must have lots of milk and calcium in her diet—and no candy. Give her natural sweets, such as honey.”
Orders Gift for Jasper
He reminisced about Jasper, an orange and white cat that was romping about in the room as Mrs. Bulkeley talked. “I can’t imagine Jasper being so affectionate,” he wrote. “What came over him? Does he play with Joan, or just run over and hide? Does Joan laugh at him and try to pull his tail? Can Joan talk a little yet?” He said he thought Jasper should have an extra 15 cents worth of liver as a Christmas present. The letter, contained only two sentences about the then impending war: “The situation is tense out here— and no fooling. Our decks are cleared.” He finished the letter: “Take good care of yourself and Oscar. Loads of love, and Merry Christmas.” “Oscar” was a reference to a child to be born to Mrs. Bulkeley in April.

Daring Feat of ‘Mosquito’ Craft Creates Another Naval Hero.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21 (U, P).— In the Navy he is known merely as Lieut. John Benton Bulkeley, commander of Motor Torpedo Boat Division 15. But to the American people the name of Lieut. John Benton Bulke-
ley became a symbol today—a symbol of the courage, daring and resourcefulness that Americans will use to bring Japan to her knees. Lieut. Bulkeley was the commander of the tiny torpedo boat which under cover of night raced through the China Sea—a sea alive with Japanese ships and aircraft— and torpedoed a 5000-ton Japanese vessel in Subic Bay in the Philipoine Island of Luzon.
Feat Under Fire
Performed
Even more remarkable than the wetual torpedoing isthe fact that Lefut. Bulkeley and his crew escaped alive, “This small boat carried out its difficult task while under fire of machine guns and three-inch shore bateries,” the Navy said. It added that Lieut. Bulkeley had been scommended” for successful execution of his mission. The lieutenant, 31, was born in New York City. He was appointed to the Naval Academy from Texas and was graduated in 1933. After a year of civilian life he was commissioned an ensign in 1934, and was ordered to the cruiser Indianapolis for duty. Subsequently, he served on the cruiser Sacramento and the Saratoga.
Commanded Sub Chaser
In February, 1941, he was made commander of the submarine chaser division. Last August he was transferred to command of Motor Torpedo Boat Division 15, with additional duty as commander of Motor Torpedo Squad 3. He is the first the Navy has praised publicly for his heroic action in the Far East. His feat drew attention for the first time to operations of the Navy's mosquito fleet, of which the torpedo boat is the spearhead. Torpedo boats usually are transported on the decks of Navy auxiliary vessels, such as tankers. For the most part they operate from shore station, but naval experts long have | said that they might operate from
Base Not Revealed
The Navy did not reveal the base | of operations of Lieut. Bulkeley's| craft. The number of such craft that the Navy has cannot be re-| vealed. It may be said, however, | that those in operation—this coun-| try has been building them only for a few years—are reputed to be the] most powerfully-armed and the| speediest of their type in the world. | The vessels range between 70 and | T7 feet in length and carry four 18inch torpedo tubes. A hit by a single torpedo could eripple a battleship of the most modern type and two or three might sink one, experts say.
Speed Up to 60 Knots They have a cruising range of] 2000 miles at a speed of nine knots, but in combat their three engines
