September 13 - -The sky was clear to partly cloudy and the sea was moderate. 
Fewere birds were seen (47) today. Wo flocks were observed. At 0710 a 
Shearwater-Petrel that was about the size of a Dark-rumped Petrel was 
observed. The bird had entirely dark (brown) underwings. It flew 
just like a Dark-rumped Petrel. Johns and I had a slight difference 
of opinion today, but it was nothing serious, except I thought he was 
going to have a hemmorage. When the crew laughed I 
really thought he was going to have a hemmorage. 
September 14 — Damn what a long night. The sea was moderate today and the 
skies clear to partly cloudy. The birding was moderate today. Fair 
numbers of Dark-rumped Petrel, White necked Petrel, were seen. I saw 
one bird that was all brown except for the bBEast and belly which was 
all white. The bird fits a picture of a bird that is found in the 
Atlantic (Schlegeils ?) or something hike that, petrel. It was about 
the size of a Dark-rumped Petrel. Two fairly large flocks were spotted 
this evening. 
Septemb e r 19 --The skies were partly cloudy to totally cloudy this 
evening. The sea was moderate. A total of 72 birds was seen today. 
One flock (7 birds) was seen. At l635 and 1700 on all dark Shearwater- 
Petrel was seen. It looked like a Kermadec Petrel except for the white 
under the wings which was more of a slash an the ends instead of a 
circle. The bird had rapid flight (maybe because of the wind) flopped 
seldom, and arced high up in the air.
