Feb. 3: Anchor winch in apparently repaired but we are not leaving because 
it is Sunday. Toured island. Saw plovers, turnstones, sandlings, tattlers 
shits, coots, frigates. 
Feb. 4: Sailed tod-y. Managed to clear harbor about 11:30* Weather a bit 
rough. Black-footed albatrosses and pomarine jargars followed ship as soon 
as we got outside of channel. Saw 2 brown boobies at harbor entrance. Col¬ 
lected two jaegers. Maximum number of jaegers at one time- 11. Only 1 
Laysan albatross ( v 200) sooty tern, 
total species seen- 6 
Jaegers followed ship but alight on water when ship slows on stops. Required 
no. 4 shot to kill. No. 6js not enough* 
Entire pa. ty seasick by nightfall. 
Feb. 5: Ship has been adrift since shortly before midnight. Propellor shaft 
bearing has gond bad. Weather improved. Turned out ot be a beautiful 
day. especially when returning to Oahu with wind astern. 
Tried fishing for albatrosses while we were adrift. Managed to catch one 
black-footed. Banaded and sprayed with tellow paint and released. Bid not 
see it again. Found that a float will be necessary to keep bait at surface* 
Bacon works very well as fait. Albatrosses are more easily caught when 
garbage is thrown overboard and several other birds are present. Competition 
causes them to be less particular about swallowing an object. Saw 10 spps. 
today. 
Black-footed albatrosses ith ship all day, started keeping 15 min. counts 
after lunch* It is impossible to determine if same birds are floowing ship 
. At the meaetmoment I lean toward the 
or if they are constantly replac4d 
replacement theory.
