Lieutenant Commander Richard Wainwright performed an unequalled exploit when in command of the Gloucester, formerly the yacht Corsair, he wiped out the two torpedo boat destroyers Pluton and Furor.  At the time of that exploit he was only forty-eight years old and the youngest man of his grade in the navy.  He is a fine officer and is a son of the late Commodore Wainwright, who died in the service of his country during the Civil War.  Like many of our naval heroes, he seems to inherit his fine fighting qualities, though it would not be far from the truth to say that such is the rightful heritage of every American soldier and sailor.
