As on the first *isit a tidal wave warning forced the party to spend an 
entire night around the lighthouse (captain* s orders) thereby reducing our time 
for field work* 
Cats on Howland were less educated than on Baker and we were able to shoot 
10 and catch another by hand after chasing it to exhustion* Still an estimated 
10-15 on the island. 
No turltes seen on the second visit* 
Since Roger the lodger has now become a shellback X will let him sign 
the report* Wonderboy Huber and ^*fc*th8*Bttt*are both in good health after 
the equator crossing* Sleepy Dave
