Kittiwakes, Murres, Razor-bills.
Gannets
Sooty & Greater Shearwaters.
Fulmar.
Helminthophilos peregrinos (?) comes aboard.

 Birds of several kinds were in sight most of the day, most numerously
between noon and 3 P.M. as we were passing the large French Islands of
Miquelon and San Pierre. I saw in all about 30 Kittiwakes and 
50 Murres, a few Razor-bills, several Puffins, a dozen or more
Gannets, a flock of about a dozen Sooty Shearwaters floating on the
water close at hand, a single Greater Shearwater and one Fulmar.
A small land bird flitted about our upper deck all day. Several
of the passengers had a good view of it and one of them almost
caught it. But whenever I was called out to see it it had
just mysteriously disappeared. At length I had a brief and
very unsatisfactory view of it as it was flying low over the
water under the side of the ship. It looked like either a 
Nashville or a Tennessee Warbler. The latter species was indicated 
by the descriptions of those who saw it best for they said it
was greenish above and ashy-white beneath. Why, I wonder,
should it have come aboard our ship at such a date as this
