Hoeman, J. V. 1964--Aleutians locality. Also flocks of black brant fly in dose formation over the water or sit out on muckflats. We anchor boat and walk to the derelict ship marked on themaps and visible from afar. I walk ahead with Nancy--she's N.Y. state girl, but they apparently met in the U. of Mich. and Pete worked a summer in Juneau (AIRP?) where he knew Walter Wood. The ship is beautiful, an old wooden whaler with half a mast left and another nearby inthe sand. The metal work is all there but nearly corroded away, but the extensive wood- work, including dowells that held sides together, is intact. One can easily read the name "Courtney For" carved on the bow. The beach is absolutely littered with glass fish balls, almost all small most still in net ( Cotton-Russian; hemp-Jap, Pete says), and lots of bamboo poles, rope, a great hempen bag, etc. We go to the rye-covered dune part of this island, note strawberries abloom and many other flowers and fine a nest I though was Sav. spar. at first but later decided wor ong spar. because of feather lin ng. 4 darkly marked eggs. See several seals and flocks of terns and gulls as we return at lower tide. Lv. the boat out as they'll be using it, and return first to their place, then to office. To Jones' to eat with Bob and his wife, Dora. She appears to have been not-too-pretty widow with a couple (?) of kids. Bob is music fan, wants to visity Italy for the opera. June 18, 1964 Raining when I woke and went out but I walked around and a friendly dog followed me. I couldn't chase him away so I didn't go up to the station where Bob doesn't want dogs to scare their tame fox. Later I did though and while Win and Bob discussed how to fight some cowman's proposal to run cattle on Unimak that we were telegraphed about, I arrange to go look at a sandpiper
