CHIEFS The Chiefs are more or less the Silent Men of our organ- ization — until something goes wrong; then you can hear them yell for a mile. (Perhaps there ' s always something wrong with the torpedoes.) A Chief ' s job is to be around when things go wrong, and set them right again. This they have done in excel- lent fashion. The engineers really gave us a ride for the full power trial, but they are down there all the time the ship is at sea -- full power run or not. Nowhere else besides an Engine-Room is it possible for so many things to go so wrong so fast. Nothing went wrong. Our chiefs are a valuable asset to the ship. FRONT ROW. L.

FIRST DIVISION Ensign Mitchell calls his boys ' The Fighting First ' and they did their best to live up to their name. Fueling at sea got to be a touchy subject, especially when talking to those ' guys back aft. ' Blanco soon proved himself to be a capable Japanese interpreter, but Burnham just kept his mouth shut — and turned in his overnight chits. But there ' s no denying that the work always got done, and done right. Wheeler, Rose, and Davis soon showed the seamen what work was. All this time the Gunner ' s Mates were busily working, and showed up with two of the cleanest mounts in the squadron for the admin. The gang all did a good job. FRONT ROW.
