HERO RADIO OPERATOR WINS MERCHANT MARINE CADETSHIP
A radio operator whose valor helned save the entire crew of a torpedoed American tanker has won an appointment as CadetMidshipman in the U. S, ^''^erchant Marine Cadet Corps, in addition to the award of the Merchant Marine Distinguished Service Medal by President Roosevelt, the War Shipping Administration announced yesterday (December 9), He is Kenneth W. Ifeynard, of Bellingham, Wash, , who will report to the U. S. Merchant Marine Academy at King’s Point, N. Y. , this month.
Maynard was serving on the SS CHINA ARROW in the Atlantic when two torpedoes crashed into the ship’s main tanks. The explo¬ sion blew large quantities of the oil cargo into the air. As the oil rained back on the ship it Ignited and flames roared up through the hole blown in the after deck.
Orders to abandon ship were sounded when it was seen the submarine was preparing to shell the flaming vessel, but the master and Radioman Maynard remained aboard to set up a makeshift antenna and emergency short-wave transmitter to replace that wrecked by the explosion. Heedless of great personal danger from flame and shell¬ fire, the two men worked swiftly for 45 minutes. Finally, their ingenuity made it possible to send out continuous distress calls.
Since the radio receivers had been wrecked, the call had to go out "blind”, but shore stations fixed the tanker’s position, and the entire crew was rescued 56 hours after the attack.
Maynard, wxiose mother, Mrs. Irene Maynard, lives on Route 3, Bellingham, Wash,, was born in Corvallis, Ore., 22 years ago. After graduation from the Mt. Baker Union High School, Doming, Wash. , in 1938, he trained for the Merchant Iferine at the U. S. Maritime Radio Service School on Gra.llups Island, Boston, Mass. , and served on the Liberty Ship THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH, as well as the CHINA ARROW. Recently, he has served at Callups Island as a radio instructor.
