To get his stories firsthand, he lived in light houses, on lightships, with oil drillers, G men and Secret Service agents. He was a friend of J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. As a young man he rowed in an eight oar shell on the Harlem River and he joined' the New York National Guard's Seventh Regiment before World War I.
