(too far for "May" radio). We vent to bed at 11 p.m. after packing 
some of our equipment in rubber hags* 
June 25 , 1965 - Pearl and Hermes Reef, North Island 
Were awoken this morning at 4 a.m. by a rainstorm. The 
tent leaked again as usual. We got up at 6:30 and packed the rest 
of our gear and took down the tents (8 a.m.). Fred and I then 
checked the island for any Black-footed or Lays an Albatross missed 
before. We found a few. Before finishing we spotted the whaleboats 
cording in the distance. Steele (the sailor) began talcing equipment 
to the landing area . Our final Albatross banding came to 
Black-foots and Laysan . During the morning three Fairy Terns 
were caught by net and banded. The boats arrived by 10 a.m. and 
all equipment was loaded. On our way back we again stopped on 
South North Island. Fred banded more Masked Boobies while I 
took photos and collected plants.
