walls. I called Dr. George Byers (K. U. Ent. Prof.) who is on
sabbatical leave and made plans to have dinner with him tomorrow
night. We then wrote field notes and went to bed.
May 29, 1963 - Honolulu, Pearl Harbor, Oahu
After eating breakfast Fred and I went to Building 474 to talk
to Mr. Harry Seito about purchasing another motor, etc. and getting the
supplies from Navy Supply which Bill Wirtz had already asked for. Since
Fred had a meeting with Com. Doyle, and Lt. Candy about the itinerary,
etc., he left at 8:20 a.m. I finished getting the necessary forms from
Mr. Seito and Mr. Young. I returned to the ship to find that the items
stored at Pearl City were being unloaded onto the ship. Also the
ammo boxes arrived. The meeting broke up soon after I returned 9:45 a.m.
and I met Com. Doyle. Fred and I discussed the meeting and then Fred
proceeded to call Washington to find out what had been done about the
water drums, etc. I went with two sailors in the ship's jeep to buy
and pick up another Johnston 10 hp outboard motor (and spare parts)
and the old one. I returned by 12:30. Fred had returned and had directed
the sailors in storing the trunks in the aft hold. After lunch I left
to pick up the items ordered from Navy Supply (batteries, formalin
salt). The alcohol was not obtained since I had to get one of the officers
to sign for it. About 3 p.m. Fred and I went to town to find a
Benzomatic dealer. We had no luck at Advanced Products Co. and no sporting
goods store carried the line. At 6:30 we met Dr. Byer at his mother-in-
law's home and proceeded downtown to have dinner.
