Midway Time Arrive Honolulu April 1 1967 March 23 Southeast I. Pearl + Hermes Reef old + new: When we first arrived here we found a note for Chen Robbins who had come down from Midway by Helicopter. It seems they were caught in the alien this wind came down and had to spend the night on North Island inside the helicopter. They had studied island Midway but were forced back by strong head winds. A pilot had to fly down from Midway the next morning to drop fuel + oil for the chopper so they could make the return trip to the helicopter. This morning I saw an orange stemmed green finch at close range flying up from an area in which a nest of sorts was located. I waited around the area but the bird did not return. It was impossible to determine if this bird was just loafing in company of the breeding birds or whether it was actually brooding a Southeast. Left the island to return to the ship at 2:30 pm. along with John and the major portion of our gear. Alan Cinco + Dick remained behind to spray the mustard weed in hopes of eradicating it. As soon as I got on the ship I unloaded my tackle back into the trunk & tried to pack all of my gear like she returned with the boat. When she returned he saw an adult King - billed Skull & yelled for me to bring the shotgun. I was down in the forward fold packing my second trunk full of gear + no one slowed to know what I was not that it made any difference since the shotgun + ammo were both stored down in the bottom of the first trunk that had been packed. At 6 pm. the ship pulled anchor & steamed toward Midway Island.
