Extremely high mortality among frigate eggs. 200 sooties landed. Jan 25 We went to Johnston I. in the afternoon to try to shoot the gull but could not get within range. Another attempt was made to capture it, perhaps while sleeping, at night but this was also unsuccessful. One white-tailed tropic bird was seen on Johnston. Jan 26 Took the day off for the cookout.
