July 59 . 1963— Honolulu . Oahu Island, U. S. A. ( Waikiki) 
Boh Fleet and I arrived lest night about 6:10 p.m, at the International 
airport via United. We stayed at the Waikiki International Hotel (2310 
Kuhio Ave.). The island is beautiful green, cloud capped, temperate. The 
three most obvious (“common?) birds are ell introduced species; Indian yna, 
r 
Bared Dove and S-’ngliah Sparrow. These are present wherever you go. 
A 
W wrnt out to Pearl Harbor and arrived at Niroitz Gate about 9:00 a.m. 
after phoning mdr. Doyle of our intentions to get gate passes, etc. He 
promised to have us met at the irate. When we arrived we again phoned Doyle 
to let him know we were there and he said he was sending someone out to 
get us through. 
By 12:30 p.m. we were * ired of waiting so we again put through a call to 
Doyle. He was out to lunch hut the men we talked to promised to call us 
hack when he found out about our problem* In about 10 minutes he called back 
and apologised for our being held up. The blame was variously shoved around 
and ended in H drav/ t • A Mr. L&Hona picked us up and escorted us out to the 
( ) where we met various members of the crew including the captain and 
several men from BKSFBIIP (including Mr. Bushman). It appears that we have 
clearance to embark on the ship, but not to board. So we phoned Mary anna 
Smellow (collect) and asked her to check on our orders. After coffee and 
small talk, and no luck in contacting Mr. Fry at Supply In Pearl City. Mr. 
Bushman took us out, got us temporary passes and l*?ft us off at a spot where we 
devoured a very late (4:00 p.m.) lunch. 
My first impression is that no one really knows wh&t is going on. The 
ship leaves August 1 for the grid area £nd we hope to get c lot of collecting
