Gill, Douglas E. 1964 -134- didn't come out too well because he lost so many feathers. I did another immature in about 3-1/2 hours and it came out pretty well. Thus around 1600 I went out to eat and had two dinners at the Princess ___ ? on the main drag of Waikiki. Walking back past the Market Place, Larry ran up and joined me. We went to the Aloha Airlines to get Fred's thank-you present for the Ely's. Then we went to the bank across the street where Larry closed out his account. When we got back to the hotel it was 1800 so we both started skinning a red-tailed Tropicbird. Larry finished his by 2030 and I only had to stuff it. We dressed and went to see Alfred Hitchcock's movie "Marnie" which was very good. We got back at midnight. Larry hit the sack but I stayed up until 0200 and finished the Tropicbird. It came out and I was proud of it. I then sponged bathed (since I can't get my wound wet) and finally hit the sack around 0230. 15 August 1964: I got up at 1030 and got moving. After eating I went down to Dr. Tragler and had my would examined. It had become infected, so he cleaned it up, redressed it, and gave me some antibiotics. We discussed oral contraceptives and he supported them having prescribed them for 5 years. We discussed philosophy. When I got back I relaxed a bit as Larry put up another bird. Then we drove out th Bernice Bishop Museum where I purchased three of their publications. We then browsed through some of their displays especially the Honeycreepers mounts. The seabird mounts were very yellow from old leakage (oil). I hope our skins don't become as awful. We drove back past Gaspro but found that it was closed so we couldn't get dry ice for the birds. I went to the Colonial House and had a dinner-lunch of chop suey.
