SAILORS BELOW UNSUNG HEROES

Working Conditions Tough But They Wouldn't Swap Jobs With Those Topside.

By B. J. McQUAID

ABOARD A U. 8S. WARSHIP IN 18 (Delayed) —When the ships of our North Pacific task force broke through the fog the other day and saw Kiska island plain for the first time in four attempts to get a shot at it, the reaction of the men at

and instantaneous. Every man of them knew the magnitude of the risks we incurred in the minute we stuck our noses out of that fog bank. We were duck

soup for air attack and a beautiful |

target for shore batteries.

In response to this situation, our|

men cheered like so many college freshmen at a football game. No outfit of fighting men in all history was ever more eager to get at an enemy than the crew of this cruiser.

Which is to be expected, no doubt,| from such people as you find top-{-

side on a warship going into battle. Gun crews are noforiously a hard-bitten lot, with a deep conviction that guns and warships ought to be shooting most of the time and not just chasing each other’s tails around in a fog. Even antiaircraft gunners have sublime faith in their ability to knock down enemy planes by the dozen, with everything from hand rifles to fiveinch guns, all prior experience of this war to the contrary.

The Unsung People

But what .of the. people below |,

decks—the drones of this seagoing hive; the silent, anonymous effi-

clent, .unsung people? There are| hundreds of them on a warship this! |. size. and their jobs, though fre-|. quently less spectacular, are just] | as important as those of the others} |

and potentially more dangerous.

When a warship .goes into se-|¢ Bl | tion everybody on it has a job cdn-| |} nected with either the shooting, or] |

the ship’s movements and maneuvers. Even the mess boys, in- addition to their rigorous training as

substitute gun crews, serve as -am- |

munition handlers.

There are the magazine crews) d

and the men who look after the ship’s intricate system of electrical communications. There are auxiliary control units, tucked away in far corners like “steering aft,” deep in the vessel’s innards. There..are

the men of the damage control—|}%

much more essential to the life of a ship in this era of air attack and torpedoes: than in former days. But most-of ‘the men below :decks
