This prooved to be cue of the most interesting 
stations yet run-average depth of the water' 
along the 300 yards of reefline poisoned was 6 
inches with very shallow coral growths sporadically 
distributed-—the maximum depth was 18 inches* 
When first checked, the area did not seem to lave 
too prolific of a fish population, but we really 
hit the jackpot as a result of the use of the cube. 
We only picked up fishes for two hours, and inside 
of i hour after beginning with the nets, we had 
the 16 gallon container filled. We threw away 
88 gcatfish (common yellew-stripe) and 82 Surgeon 
fishes (mostly A, 2-spot but with some Ctenoehaetus 1 
strigosus mixed in, -— 
Went in over the reef with the wherry-and 
nearly capsized-the boat finally comlngto rest, 
right side up on top of a high ?£i.thothamnion ridge. 
Put two men in the boat with the eouipment-—and the 
others swam in to the reef fraa the sound boat-v 
nearly lost one man-—Abarno---who was hit with a 
wave and knocked against a coral head-and then 
lost his head-screaming for HELP, and all that 
sort of rot-finally pulled him hut-—scratched 
up quite a bit.
