Seas again very rough. Could not collect, supposedly because starboard 
engine controls were ready to break, but without doubt reason in actuality was 
crew and Capt. alike have channel fever. 10 Fhalaropes ?/ Sanderlings sighted 
but of course could not collect any. Appear to be Red Phaloropes, but uncertain 
until one is collected. Thirty Sooty Terns for a total of kk birds.

Slenderbill, and possibly 1 Mottled Petrel, 2 Phalapes sp. again today. Arrive 
Honolulu about 8-8:30 tonight. Two Black- footed Albatrosses started following 
ship today.
