Shrarwaters, Bulwer's 3'etrel; several Manx : hearw? ters with little

we were directed by Phil and more recently by Mr. Bushman. 
We are receiving very fine treatment on the ship, 'e Ire p two 
people on watch all the time, thus having two eating late meals after 
being relieved by those who ate first. The food is quite a bit better 
then that which we had on the first trip. Everyone is helpful and cooperative 
though maintaining themselves as a separate entity, which, incidentally 
I feel is better for our work. While tney are cordial and willing to help 
they leave us to do our work and we try to go about it without interfering 
in the routine of the ship. However, there is not the feeling, “if it 
doesn't fit in with the shin's routine, we can't do it." And. though we lose 
a bit of comradeship by this attitude I believe that improves the efficiency 
of the work and creates a better image for the ^avy. 
We experienced e mechanical failure about 1600 hours today and did 
not get under way again till almost midnight. A bearing burnt out in the 
eng ne, and. as a replacement is not aboard they had tc re-shape the bad one 
and put it back. This has put us a out five hours behind schedule. 
I believe that it will be necessary to a ssign for.r people to these 
surveys as it will be quite impossible fo- two to keep up the 16 hour 
watches we have been running. It is really necessary to have two people 
on duty all the time—there's too much ocean out the e for one man to keep 
track of. Three hours is about the maximum one person cfn do at a. time
