King, Warren B. 
Hiked back "to rim in l i/2 hours in very dense fog, coning out at precise p&int 
of trail Junction. More luck than skill. Another known to crater floor. 
I photoed a Nene (the only one there), and we departed far Kapelaoa Cabin, 
hiking the J.2 miles all up hill in 1 hour 10 minutes, to find Larry had found 
only a one partially constructed burrown, but plenty of cat evidence. No 
. ; V * i* ** 
matches anywhere so we ate cold Starlite chicken stew. Barely edible. 
Heard a few ]> rk -rumps that night but starting later and not nearly as 
pelntiful as at Holua Cabin. At Holua first birds appeared 1910 by Larry 
and 19?r to west were David and Ipwhere but at Kspalaoa they weren't heard 
until 2000 hours. 
Vegetation and predators thicken at Kapalooa than at Holua.

Passed eight high school students on way, four still back at Holua cabin.

Larry photoed a burrow low down, close to cabin, then we headed up Hale Manu 
trail and arrived at car 1500. Larry took little used trail to top and 
found three more burrows on the way. Drove to Park Headquarters and told 
Mr. Zink about our finds, thinking him for phone - arranged permits. 
Drove to Manauainui Gulch and searched for Newell's Shearwater burrows for 
two hours. At dusk Larry stationed himself in gulch and Dave and X drove 
'Y t , '* 
to Rahihi and Pukai Gulch. Gave up 2050, no Newell's having been seen or 
heard. Drove back to ship, having hamburgers and banana splits on way.
