Grasping the situation despite his injuries, Bruce McCandless assumed command and gave the orders which kept the battered cruiser at the head of the col umn until it could limp away to port for repairs. , The action was the opening engagement of the great three day battle in which the biggest Japanese armada that ever sail ed ' against American forces in the Solomons was routed. Only today was McCandless, a resi dent of Long Beach, Calif., re vealed' as the man who took command when his superiors were killed. The San Francisco led the American charge against supe rior enemy ships. On the flag and navigation- bridge were Rear Admiral .Daniel J. Calla ghan, Capt. Cassin Young, and McCandless. The cruiser's guns, at short range, delivered salvoes which crippled a - Japanese battleship of the Kongo class, leaving it a battered hulk which was later sunk. But although the San Fran cisco delivered the- first blows of the engagement, it also re ceived the first hits from the enemy. The battleship's 14-inch- ers wrecked the cruiser's bridge, killing Callaghan and Young and leaving McCandless momentar ily ; unconscious from his wounds. ''...... But the youthful skipper kept the- flagship going kept it at the head of the American col umn which, plowing between two lines of enemy warships, so surprise and confused the Jap anese that they iired upon each other.
