will not be permitted entrance Into our storage room and only the 
bosun will have a key to our padlock put on the door. It Was 
\ 
announced at noon today that the ship will not get underway until 
Monday morning. This may possibly be a blessing in disguise to the 
project as the very rough weather which was present in the Midway 
* 
area earlier this week is beginning to subside and possibly will 
have cleared by the time we arrive in the area. After the noon meal 
the party members commenced an instruction period with various pieces 
of our equipment and then strung 500 field collecting tags to be ready 
for at sea collections. The bosun has made two large iron-rod hoops 
to be fastened along bamboocr/poles to hold the nets which we will use 
to pick up birds collected at sea. Party talked over general proceedure 
for collections and bird watch. The field party feels that all 
equipment te now ready for use and that we have completed our arrange¬ 
ments and planning and we can now only wait for the repairs to be 
completed so that we can get underway.
