13 Jan Booted the 'Golden Bear' off Baja Calif Sur, Mex. floating on the water. From the bow they are seen floating on the top of the water and submerge at the approach of the boat. A small sliver-colored fish can be seen, leaping from the water, and the crustacean is very abundant - some groups of 35-40 / [illegible] seen, most about 41/2s this densely. Saw the first groups (top 8-10, top 6) flying fish, looks the same as before. No guil. At 4:30 to 5 no petrel with the boat, but after 5:30 h as dark as I could see a group of 12-20 Black Petrels followed the boat, coming closer as it got dark. The caellets are very interested in the zoo plankton and tried to catch some in a bucket, but succeeded only in losing the bucket. Later a caellett went a net with his larnely bag but the boat is going so fast - 141/2 knots) that the net wouldn't get underwater. Ted Peppergrass spotted a whale and throughs the binoculars I could see 4' (high dorsal fin [drawing] ) - no color - kills whales. From the bow spotted a group of 40-60 porpoise feeding in a flock, jumping from the water. All seemed to be sharp-nosed, one type was all black and the other [drawing] but way too far off to see any detail. Dr. Bartholomew thogs the latter might be and had no guns
