were flying over the water and one Red -footed Booby was seen. It 
would be very interesting to get on these islands to see exactly what kinds 
of birds were present. We retraced our path back to the ship since lunch 
time was nearing. During the afternoon we wrote up our progress 
report and gave suf 2 gestions for clearing up some of the problesra. I 
also taped a report by the Navy on a survey trip in the Leeward Islands . 
The photos were especially good. 
June 3 , 1963 - Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, U. S. S. Tawakoni 
This morning Fred went to a meeting concerning our schedule and 
plans. In the meantime I called Dr . Humphrey to find out what to do 
with the Laysan equipment since we had had no instructions. He had 
not received the message that Doyle had again turned the Laysan trip 
down. Dr. Humplrey suggested that we leave the equipment on Laysan 
for future use if possible. After Fred returned the decision to store 
the material (at Pearl City) had been made and there was no way we could 
* > * 
add Laysan to the schedule since the ruling that no islands could be 
added but only could be deleted. Fred then went to see Mr. Frye and 
the truck arrived very quickly (very fast service) to take the supplies 
for Laysan back to Pearl City for storage* The crew worked diligently 
’’•s. . • . 
in unloading the ship. Hie remaining trunks were l&Bhed down and all 
gear secured. Qruing the afternoon Fred called the Fish and Wildlife 
office and talked with Mr. Takata. We also did our laundry. At 5 P*m. 
we returned the car to the Avis agency at the airport and a Jeep from the 
ship picked us up. During the afternoon a final report was also written.
