lower level to point half way between Goat Notch and camp site which line 
continued brought us out at camp. Got a few pictures enroute. 
In afternoon (rough notes are blank?) Dr. and I went on beach to 
examine stomach of dead seal (sea lion) that sudors had hauled up on beach 
in turtle hole to>day. Had planned first a short run ashore, xnk± sub boat 
took us in only. On beach our self bailing surf boat (better to be called 
self filler, it had to be continually pumped out) was being worked on by half 
the crew. It had filled up while tide to buoy off beach, from which we 
rowed in in dory (first few landings from nose of motor boat were not 
so successful). Once during first or second day after our arrival at S. 
r 
Seymour got the boat sideways on beach and only after a great deal of effort 
got it launched again. 
The seal stomach as in perfect condition, neither lesions or worms) 
afterwards Dr. regretted that we had not examined lungs or heart. (As I 
have aleays maintained, every trip is filled with vain xx® regrets.) Like 
sulphur at Villamil.

April 12, forenoon, Saturday. Transferred over to sub No. 46, Capt. 
Lynch. Steamed over to Conway Bay from alongside of MALLARD where 2 subs, 
including Lynch's, had been tied up alongside. These subs rub and bump 
against MALLARD quite sharply at times, enough to feel it in your sleep at times.
