Queenstown to Boston.
1909
Oct. 6 -14
  After losing sight of the extreme south-western extremity of
Ireland on the morning of the 6th we ran into a succession 
of gales which lasted for three or four days. Very few birds
were seen during this period partly, no doubt, because none 
of the passengers were much on deck. The only bird characteristic
of British waters which was noted was a Manx Shearwater
that I saw skimming low over the waves about 8 A.M. on
the 7th. The full list covering the period beginning with the
morning of the 7th and ending with the evening of the 13th
is as follows:
