Nov 27 at sea. Is there any such thing as a Hareouts S.P.? Solar even right within sight of Hono we see nothing but Leeches. 3 that we have collected are Leeches One is an immature, They are common all over. I would like to see a skin of a Hareouts. Could it be that There is no difference between leeches and Hareouts. And why couldn't leeches be nesting on Hawaii and everybody calls them Hareouts. Alexander says that the leeches has a deeply forked tail but the birds we are collecting have a [illegible] shallow fork in the tail. But the dump description it's leeches. Argue!! Right now I am listening to two sailors talking about marriage. This one in particular is married and has [illegible] child. He is saying that he wishes he could find himself a rich woman in California because of some law saying that property is divided evenly between divorces. That way he says he could marry her and then divorce her and get half her money. This is the same guy that is always complaining he isn't getting paid enough and is always sneaking in overtime when he didn't work it. Some crude, [illegible] guys like him that make me distinct people.
