of the Daphnes, major and minor, but with little to show in the way of fish 
on their return from that excursion. Mot much better luck was had on the

of groupers had been caught, several yellowfin tuna, three southern barracuda®, 
. 
two black skipjack, a Pacific amber jack, two round herrings. Tit rameus mic ropua .

hand lines over the ship's aids the crew got several Gal apagos s hespsheads . 
and along shore a puffer, Sphaeroides annul -tus . was taken JfcfThe wind was a 
bit too high to render the electric light fishing at all worth while. The 
only specimen taken which was t all worthy of note was a tiny octopus, fie 
remained at anchor here over night.
