Non-Belligerent Activities

SUN 7 APR 1940
Destroyer J. Fred Talbott (DD-247) departs Canal Zone to rendezvous at sea with Japanese steamship Arimasan Maru (see 13 April).

Destroyer Twiggs (DD-127), on neutrality patrol off the coast of Cuba, attempts to tow Norwegian freighter Spind off rocks six miles off Cape San Antonio, but is unsuccessful in two tries. Salvage tug Warbler, however, frees the merchantman from her predicament. Twiggs resumes her patrol.
