Fale© Bay, Livingston Island, 
Weatter mm too good, had to wait It out before we could be laired 
ashore even by helicopter; no place in tliis weather _to beach shore boat; 
surf* or swell breaking on the eteep-to shingle and boulder covered beach 
(mraim debrist) rendered landing by boat impossiblel - at least in this, 
and I would say in lauch other weather either. Getting in and out, off and 
on shore is a must for station, and this ahouM be possible tsost of 
the tiros » If not, the place is out as a station site. 
Did gather a fair collect ion of lichens and i»se; Berlesed the latter 
aboard. Hot tiw enoi^h spent tere to warrant setting fish traps. 
Chins traps were the only penguins seen ashore, e couple of rather 
widely separated, lonesc®© little groups of a dozen or eo sitting forlornly 
ajjong tl^ rocks. So evidence that there had been a rookery on tills beach, 
lliese penguins were probably of this year's crop ”on their own," having 
been cast out at how; EC»ae of thOEs were hall* throu^ Boulting their "chick” 
plumage , 
Around the "comer" in South Bay, Cojsaodore Lewis spotted a nuKber of 
seals resting as usual, but this tlrae in a fresh-water pixsl. He said also 
thfit there was a colory of pet^uins about ^^00 feet up, probably Chinstraps, 
those are the only ones ve saw elsewhere in these jm’ts - and how tise little 
"beggars" like to climb highJ As his helicopter swooped down for a closer 
Icok, the penguins all ran toward the edge of the cliff, several dived over, 
to be killed on the rocks below. Seeing this, CcstsBsodore Lewie did not 
continue flying in this neighborhood.
