Description:Excerpt from The American Legion Monthly, Vol. 21: July, 1936 As seaman, second class, and newly attached to the U. S. S. Davis, I was the lowest of the low and practically beneath contempt, but the spirit of the destroyer flotilla was so contagious that I soon felt personally te sponsible for the safety of the huge troopships we convoyed. Of course we were all pining for action in a big way. One day when we were out on patrol we spied a big Allied cruiser where -no Allied cruiser had a right to be. We challenged her by radio - no answer. We challenged again - still no answer. Aha! We trained out the torpedo tubes and steamed at thirty knots for the enemy. Just as our commander was about to give the order to fire, the cruiser sent up a belated set of signal flags. She was British, after all, and serious international complications were narrowly averted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
