Pearl + Hermes Reef odd & sb: When we first arrived here we found a note from Clan Pollock who had come down from Midway by helicopter. It seems they were caught in the storm that blew our craft down and tried to spend the night on North Island inside the helicopter. They had stated toward Midway but were fired back by strong wind with... A plane had to fly down from Midway the next morning to drop fuel + oil in the choppers so they could make the return trip in the helicopter. This morning I saw an orange streaked frigate at close range flying up from an area in which a number of nest were located. I waited around the area but the bird did not return. It was impossible to determine if this bird was just loosing in company of the breeding birds or whether it was actually breeding on Southeast Re. Left the island to return to the ship at 2:30 pm, along with John and the major portion of our gear. Also Erich & Dick remained behind to spray the mustardweed in hopes of eradicating it. As soon as I got on the ship I unloaded my locker back into the trunk & tried to pack all of my gear before she returned with the boat. When she returned he saw an adult Ring - billed Gull + yelled for me to bring the shotgun. I was down in the forward solid packing my second trunk full of gear, no one seemed to know where 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.
