"A. M. ADAMS" in tow en route to. Jacksonville, Florida and arrived .at' the Gibbs Gas Engine Company in Jacksonville, Florida on June 26, 19,42. The Schooner, "A. M.

When Ensign ALLEN shortly thereafter • boarded the schooner, Captain McNAIR disclosed his identity to Ensign ALLEN and told~ that he was on a special mission, under special orders from Admiral Ernest E. KING, Chief of Naval Operations. On June 27, Captain McNAIR came to the Jacksonville Zone Intelligence Office, Jacksonville, Florida in civilian clothes except for a regulat~on USN Captain's cap, at which time he disclosed his identity and the nature or his mission to Lieutenant Commander Duke C. TREXLER, ot the Zone Intelligence Office, and at th,e same time, he disclosed his identity to Lieutenant CommaDdei- KIRKLAND. Since then, Captain McNAIR has been incapaci­tated a considerable portion of the time by acute alcoholism, and was taken to the Miller Sanitarium in South Jacksonville, Florida, on August 1, 1942, by direction of Dr. Robert , Y. THOMAS, for treatment, the Miller Sanitarium being particularly qualified and equipped for the treatment of such cases.

SECRET McNAIR, Frederick V., Ca;pt. USN (R8t.) and the schooner "AMA" Aug. 20, ·1942 ------

~•ve seen a boy named Marion (last name unknoffll) at the drug store on the corner of Market and Adams. He is deformed on the le:f't side, and I believe, lives across the street. One night last week I saw him in the drug store. The two of us were sitting on stools at the counter. I told him that there was a schooner at Gibbs that was going somewhere in the Caribbean I thought; that it was going to be disguised as a pleasure craf't of some type or fishing boat; I made. some remark to hini that I would probably become a commodore on this schooner. That's all I can remember telling him. All I told him was the general 11 scuttlebut11 that I had heard. He told me that I shouldn't be telling this information.

Several -days before this incident I saw this same boy in the drug store. I had gone over from where I live in civilian clothes. He told me that he­could ha:v;.e me arrested for being in civilian clothes and I said that anyone could. He said that he could make it stick and added that he had been associated with many departments of the Government.

When I told me about the schooner, we -had been there for quite a while drinking. I was tight at the time but not drunk.

/s/ Ernest Guy Spencer Subscribed and sworn before me this the 2nd dey of August, 1942, at Jacksonville, Florida.

The Tug 11 SAMPSON,11 towing the Schooner "A. r.i:. ADAflS., 11 arrived Jacksonville on June 26 at 1226 EWT from Key West, Fla. The tug left Key !est on June 24 at 1935. The Schooner was left at Gibbs Gas Engine Compaey to be overhauled, and the tug left Jacksonville on June 27 at 0545 for Port Everglades, Fla. Gross tonnage: 581~ Net tonnage: 331. Radio Call Letters: KGBI. Number in crew: 18. Emergency Equipment: One lifeboat and two liferafts. Not armed or degaussed. No Naval Reserve Officer aboard. Owned by Eastern Transport Compan;y, Baltimore , Md.

Captain HAYMAN reported that on Ley 18, at Norfolk, Va., the Navy Department chartered SUBJECT tug for emergency v,ork. The tug proceeded from No.rfolk to Port Everglades, where it remained twenty-seven days before going to Key West.

On the trip south to Port Everglades, Captain HAYMAN reported that he saw two aus­picious vessels burning dim lights which apparently made contact in the early hours of the morning. A complete r~port of this incident, which the Captain believes in­volves re-fueling of submarines, was made to the DIO, ?ND.

The present crew has caused the Captain no trouble. The crew list was teletyped to DIO, 6ND, on June 26, with negative results.

At Gibbs Gas Engine Company, Captain Frederick B. McNAIR, USN(Ret.), was briefly interviewed. Captain McNAIR reported that he had served more than forty years as an officer in the U. s. Navy, and was recently recalled from retirement; he is at the present time on a special mission and under special orders from Admiral Ernest J. KING, Vice Chief of Naval Operations. It will require approximately three weeks to outfit the Schooner in Jacksonville. The nature of this work was not disclosed by Captain r.~cNAIR.

EVALUATION: A normal voyage of no unusual interest.
