on board the "Golden Bear" off Baja Calif. Sun, Mu.
on the other (he didn't see them). With these were
about 157 Black Petrels and a white bellied
Puffinus, probably Black-vented. Find I found to
judge size now. Two other thing seen at
noon - a probably Cassin's Auklet -
small black with a dark throat - and 2 Red
or Northern (not much sharp wing but poorly seen)
Phalopes. In the evening there was a lecture
given for the crew of the Golden Bear by the expedition.
Cool at night. Took off my sweat shirt after for.
very cloudy around the horizon at night &
gets dark very soon after sunset. At 2 P.M.
all clocks were set forward 1 hour so
this was no 23 H.R. period today. Position at
noon was: 24.19'N, 113°07'W. at 8 A.M.
25°N; at 4 P.M. 24.00.4'N, 112°44.2'W
= n 50 mi SW Cape San Gregorio. No phosphorescence
during the night.
14 Jan.
The next arm crawled out of bed about 7 and went
out to see what was following the boat. A male
Frigate bird circling far behind the ship but wholly
else in sight. It is very much warmer and mac humid
now; looks like it will rain. After breakfast went out
and from the back of the boat saw an immature Sala
dactyla which appeared from nowhere, circled
the boat a little & took off. grey bill & feet, white
body; dark wings; molting the upper wing coverts.
