26 Gettis, James S.

From Memoirs of E. A. Jack, pg. 26, "A new pin was forged, and Fauntleroy fitted that and gave it to an assistant named Gettis to secure, but he took it and heated it red hot to make it easier to rivet in place and tried to drive it into place hot." "Gettis was also a civil appointment, but he was on the ship when I joined her."
