We were fteaded east all day today, and as the wind was from the 
east we were running into an effective wind of about 20 Vnots, Th* 
weath■r was generally clear and warm, with many scattered clouds. 
We had several records during the darh hours this morning and the 
records were generally good during thr day, being mostly of wed'retailed 
Shearwaters and Tooty Terns, The birds seem to be having some trouble 
flying into the wind, and are frequently soon angling into it, rather than 
moving directly east. 
We are cutting across the NF corner of the grid, that is not going 
. ♦ 
^11 the way up the 6th leg before turning east toward Hawaii. The.reason 
for this is net clear to me. Thus we are heading straight for Johnston 
expecting to pass it early in the darh hours. We will be moving 
through the grid towards John-ton for *11 the daylight hours, and thus 
will collect all day today.
