R. Cameron 1865 Journal SEC 10 25 Nov. cont. Baker Island cont at about 1530 and put out a flare for the ship- called the raft back in over Walker table and put out by 1600. The raft nearly was flipped when wood & Baker came into the island as a large (ca 10 ft) wave. Caught them and filled the boat before towing them out. Our first attempt out failed and we brought the raft back to shore and walked it down farther south to near where the large vehicle is on the beach. We quickly tried it out through the surf without a motor and made it with no difficulty. Surf was up to 10 ft. with little break except for our determined calms such as those we went out on. SR SS 0-405; 175-00W - 12365; 175-56W Southern Bird S Baker do. 26 Nov. Very few birds (total 62). Rain most of the day. An oil slick was put out and worked from 0946 -> 1220 with very little results. Only a few storm petrels came to it - one leach's collected. Apparently they are migrating as they show little interest on the slicks. From Fernandez petrels still showing are Black-winged gull (Bonaparte)
