Oct 31 (cont.)
Departed McMurdo at 9.30 A.M. on
Oct 30. Flew via C-47 (called by
another name in the Navy.) on
shice. Dato accelerated take off. Had a
good smooth flight some 3 hours
for Hallett, perfectly clear rummy at
Hallett. Runway is about 2 miles
from the base on the bay ice.
Dr. Falla was on the flight, also
Orion Reed who will be here studying
Seas.
There is no use attempting to
describe Hallett at this point. It is
magnificent; that will have to
suffice for now.
After forcing luggage into
sleeping quarters (a gamesway) &
laboratory (a gamesway) went for
a walk through the penguinery
& shenary with Orion Reed, Dr. Falla,
Don Douglas Keith (Wise (an
N.Z. entomologist)) + one other chap.
Saw part of a movie "Meet me
in Las Vegas" or some such nonsense
after supper. In late evening saw 3
Emperor penguins waling past camp
Dr. Falla + I walked out to them. Stock
