Abstract:
Major L. P. McLendon, of Greensboro, revives the 1944 tale regarding a mysterious Portuguese man claiming to have found a cheap and more efficient substitute for gasoline by relaying Josephus Daniels' first-hand account. Daniels met the Portuguese while serving as Secretary of the Navy. The man's inexplicable disappearance is the subject of much debate.
