Amerson, B. 1963 (too far for "May" radio). We went to bed at 11 p.m. after packing some of our equipment in rubber bags. June 25, 1963 - Pearl and Hermes Reef, North Island Were awoken this morning at 4 a.m. by a rainstorm. The tent leaked again as usual. We got up at 6:30 and packed the rest of our gear and took down the tents (8 a.m.). Fred and I then checked the island for any Black-footed or Laysan Albatross missed before. We found a few. Before finishing we spotted the whaleboats coming in the distance. Steele (the sailor) began taking equipment to the landing area. Our final Albatross banding came to Black-feet and Laysan. During the morning three Fairy Terns were caught by net and banded. The boats arrived by 10 a.m. and all equipment was loaded. On our way back we again stopped on South North Island. Fred banded more Masked Boobies while I took photos and collected plants.
