We were heeded east ell day today end as the wind was from the east 
we were running into an effect of wind of about 20 note. The weather 
wes generally clear end war® with many scattered clouds. 
We had several records during the daek hours this A.M. and the 
records were generally good during the day being mostly of wedged tailed 
shearwaters and sooty terns. The birds seem to be hsv ng some trouble 
flying into the wind and are frequently seen angling into it rather 
than moving directly east. 
We ere cutting across the northeast corner of the grid that is, 
not going all t e wssy up the sixth leg before turning east toward 
Hawaii the reason for this is not clear to me thus we are heading 
straight for Jrhnston expecting to past it early in the dark hours* 
We will bemoving through the grid toward Johnston for all the day light 
hours and thus well collect all day today.

From 1530 to 1700 we collected to wedge tailed and two terns, 
several other birds being wounded but not killed out right. A white 
tailed tropicbird shot evenually dropped but about a mile away and 
the ship did not attempt to find it. 
We spent mteh of thsjevening working up these last four specimens 
end around the clock w n discontinued shortly after dark today, as we were 
told that no extra lights could be lit while we were in sight of Johnston. 
We have been asked by Mr. Bushman to reframe as much as possible 
from collecting on the remainder of the trip as a the ship has only 
a few hours on Saturday morning during which time is must dock at Hilo.
