"up the trees and hill and eat chick terns. July 18 Sent To Nudney missed my plane to [illegible] Kine. The clock in the BOQ is 51 minutes slow and I got # to the airport just in time to see the plane warming up at the end of the runway. Damnable clocks! Burlgirl! I get here the wrong day so have to wait two days to get to be sooties. Two days shot, The very first day a string of 70's freak and falls all over the ground right outside the BOQ, I missed my plane to Kine. I am short money. I underestimated the number of dead bird world need, you dam out. Arrgike! Tomorrow am gong to the DX to get a camera. Have been waiting two years to get. Hope I don't break a leg on the way. Nerda BT, Cullen today. There is a set of telephone wires in front of the office mess, that has about 120 Nanaimoo Rode roost upon it every night, out of the 120 I counted 8 landed on one night. Arrgike! Lost the best of one day out two cans of spray paint while banding tropicbirds. The tropicbirds are at every stage of the breed cycle except chick ready to fly and fresh eggs. There is a monstrous fan on the wall flying room with it on it's too cold with it off it's too hot. Well at least my radio works. A lot of [illegible] tropicbird chicks and some albatross chicks have growth on their heads, it looks as if it will probably eventually cause their deaths. Albatross are at extremly cycle with chicks being island about 6 blackfoot chicks present and about 50 albatross chicks.
