K. Amerman 1964 Dabuit Atoll, Marshall Islands Because of the natives activity we decided bonding would be unsuccessful tonight and useless in the long run since the birds would probably be slaughtered in the near future anyway. We collected 10 adult red-foots, 1 Greater Frigate and 1 Brown Booby and called it quits. We then headed back with a half-rain. At-about reached the ship around midnight, Then spent two hours weighing & cataloguing. Phil, Roger & Dave returned with Stories of a great Luan, gifts of Shells and fans, and bad tales about the good birds they missed, including a New Zealand Cuckoo and a Duck. Nov 12. Up early to go back to Enybo to retrieve nat traps so we can depart by 10. Five of the traps had disappeared, a few were spread open and the door had been chewed off one. I didn't realize we were after such big game. Before leaving the ship we got word from Alby that the local women's club requested our presence in Dabuit since most of us had missed last nights festivities. Brian, Dave, Roger and I went right in from Enybo and Phil, Harry and George joined us ashore.
