till I felt myself getting insane and woke up. Needless to say right outside the tent next to my head, a bunch of woodstorks were fighting. They kept it up the rest of the night so I couldn't get any sleep. I felt like killing those woodstorks and if it hadn't been for some faint traces of dawn I would have killed them. The dreams correct themselves don't seem odd to me, but the fact that I dreamed them seems odd. These are the first times I have ever dreamed stags going insane and to dream both of them within 3 days is worse. Aug 16-28. French Frigate Shoals. Fact Is. When I first arrived on East Island a few weeks ago there was a young seal here than a week old (probably about 4 days). It? I saw nothing protective. On Aug 25 I didn't see my protective young very chubby and about 4 feet long. Night of August 25 young found alone on shore sleeping. Ever since then it has been alone both day and night. On the night of Aug 27 I found a clutch of turtle eggs hatching and helped 106 young into ocean (a large number got eaten by crabs and lost before they reach ocean) about 6 of the young were deformed when dug out of clutch. Eggs about 14 miles down. One bad egg found in clutch. On Whale Bay saw a turtle lay 84 eggs, about 50% of the time the same in two's the rest single, no 3 at a times.
