VIII-4 
Auguste Island and Cabalescou Islet. The former is mostly snow-free, the 
latter, also largely snow-free, has penguins and cormorants "aboard" 
(tide sailing directions) but we were too far off to see what was what. 
The former small island is beset with shoals and apparently offers no 
shelter for small craft. 
For the night we lay over in Hughes Bay and the ship's force spent 
the following forenoon overhauling the helicopters, effecting repairs to 
one of the two steam boilers, and shifting the LCVP #l's motor into the 
Greenland cruiser. 
As the ship passed through Salvensen Cove one of the deck officers 
noticed several patches of "red water" but did not mention the matter 
until some time later, too late to do anything about it. It assuredly 
mast have been krill which has been eluding our nets and drags except 
for an occasional specimen. How I would like to have made a tow through 
that "red water." 
On the starboard side going into Salvensen Bay there is quite a 
large cormorant colony with half the birds sitting up on the snow field 
above the rock exposures that marked the nesting sites. It was like the 
state of affairs we had earlier observed on some exposed rocks at the 
head of a cove harboring a wreck in Svend Foyn Harbor. 
Dredge haul and fish trap evidence backed up by "red water" seem to 
indicate that the Svend Foyn area might profitably be exploited biologi¬ 
cally . 
By 1100 the ship was underway again, headed for Brialmont Cove.
