Amerson, B. 1963 were flying over the water and one Red-footed Booby was seen. It would be very interesting to get on these islands to see exactly what kinds of birds were present. We retraced our path back to the ship since lunch time was nearing. During the afternoon we wrote up our progress report and gave suggestions for clearing up some of the problems. I also taped a report by the Navy on a survey trip in the Leeward Islands. The photos were especially good. June 3, 1963 - Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, U. S. S. Tawakoni This morning Fred went to a meeting concerning our schedule and plans. In the meantime I called Dr. Humphrey to find out what to do with the Laysan equipment since we had had no instructions. He had not received the message that Doyle had again turned the Laysan trip down. Dr. Humphrey suggested that we leave the equipment on Laysan for future use if possible. After Fred returned the decision to store the material (at Pearl City) had been made and there was no way we could add Laysan to the schedule since the ruling that no islands could be added but only could be deleted. Fred then went to see Mr. Frye and the truck arrived very quickly (very fast service) to take the supplies for Laysan back to Pearl City for storage. The crew worked diligently in unloading the ship. The remaining trunks were lashed down and all gear secured. During the afternoon Fred called the Fish and Wildlife office and talked with Mr. Takata. We also did our laundry. At 5 p.m. we returned the car to the Avis agency at the airport and a jeep from the ship picked us up. During the afternoon a final report was also written.
