About 1830 the remainder of the Presidential Party took to the 
boats. Besides "groupers", (few of which were brought back) these 
boat expeditions landed a small number of "tuna", "bonita", and a 
sprinkling of "barracuda". By a remarkable coincidence, Ross 
Me Intire and Fred Adams each landed tuna or the identical weight,” 
i. e, 35 pounds - so, honors were evenly divided as to single fish 
poundage. The boat carrying Steve Early and Fred Adams captured 
the day f s honors for the largest catch, (exclusive of "groupers 
which species did not count*) bringing back, between them, some 
eleven fish of varied types. 
During the movies this evening ("In Old Chicago" - a very 
spectacular film!) the overcast skies broke and a beautiful 
crescent moon, flanked by a bright planet, shed its effulgence 
on the waters of the anchorage. Coupled with the vivid running 
lights of the planes as they hun&ed through the skies while 
engaged in night-flying exercises, the evening heavens distracted 
the onlooker's attention from the dramatic spectacle being 
displayed on the screen® 
The Presidential Detachment remained at anchor overnight off 
Seymour Island.
