Epting, Jr., known here as “Sonny” Epting is a mem ber of its crew. His parents now live in Charleston where Mr. Ep ting is employed as an electrician at the navy yard. Young Epting’s grandmother, Mrs. Thomas W. Smith, lives here at 823 Boundary street. His mother was the former Louise Smith. The clipping follows: Rear Admiral E. L. Cochrane, U. S. N., chief of the bureau of ships, recently sent a telegram to the Charleston Shipbuilding and Dry- dock company commending two fleet tugs, Bannock and Arikara, that were built there for the part they played in salvaging several naval craft which had been grounded on the Normandy coast during a heavy storm. Admiral Cochrane said that the ships had made it possible for much Allied shipping to be saved, which otherwise would have been lost. Ad miral Cochrane’s telegram further said, “Our vast offenses in both ma jor war theaters demand every ves sel we can put into service. In help ing to maintain our shipping facil ities at maximum your vessels are playing an indispensable role in the war.” Officials of the Charleston ship building company expressed appre ciation of the telegram and said that they hoped that workmen would seek employment there so that the sched ules of ships now being built at the yard could be maintained.
