little fish in a box besido one of the dock posts, and please not to touch 
it* They promised to leave it alone# But I i-vill feel better when we have 
it out at our shooting location. 
July 1. 
Our second boat is ready. We have been limping along with one boat, 
but finally got the promise of one in our price range# It is old and had 
to have some patching on the bottom, to make it seaworthy. But we are to 
have it today at ten o -clock. Mr. Brown of Brown’s Boat Basin is too busy 
to bring it out, and besides we are to exchange our present boat motor for 
a stronger one, so it mil be necessary to run in to town with this boat 
and pick up the second one and bring it back. Thera goes a half-day. 
Before leaving we checked the jawfish. No change. No babies in 
evidence, nor anything unusual. What the devil has happened to those eggs? 
Wo have found another jawfish with eggs, much less advanced, and are putting 
him under observation also. The gurnard was still in his little box, 
looking more like a tiger moth than ever. 
Ran to towa without incident, save for a squall on the way, but Tom 
and I had our ponchos, and each put on a diving face plate to see through 
the raindrops. No trouble. Chris and Jim had come to town to help in 
taking the other boat back. I elected to return in the older boat with the 
small motor. Chris and I took it and shoved off before the other motor was 
ready. Tom and Jim caught us just as we came into Lyford Bay, their boat 
having a thirty horse motor against our ten.
