GALLANT APPRENTICE
ON SHIP Blazing. Tanker Brought Home
LONDON, Feb. 26 (Reuter). A young ship's apprentice, who suddenly found himself second in command aboard an all. tanker left blazing by a German raider and who played a promin- lent part in navigating the ship' safely to port without books, instruments, charts or com- passes, has been awarded the British Empire medal.
The apprentice, John Lewis Jones, was aboard the tanker, Son Demetrio, which formed part of the convoy for which the auxillary cruiser, Jervis Bay, sacrificed herself last November. The tanker was hit and abandoned, but after a night of heavy gate, 16 members of the crew, including Jones, reboarded their ship although she was still burning furiously.

Jones took part in the hard fight that ensued to subdue the flames and then volunteered to enter the gas- filed pump room in order to re-start the machinery.
