20th/3. Richardson 1941 6 General Account Aboard the Vilena II wounds. The battle scars were rather restricted to the &s. I should say little scar, including gouged out eye. The young of the sea elephant had the gray coat of the juveniles, short tail which barely protruded through the gum (except the canines), blunt face, and a definite desire to remain out of the water. They were cute, little mammals with a bad disposition. On the island Bud and I shot 21 birds which included 1 Opey, 6 wreys, and 14 song sparrows. The song sparrow was very common and at this season were feeding the chicks of the &s were all enlarged about this size and we found an nest with 4 eggs and I saw one bird carrying food in its mouth.

This evening we went ashore at the southern end
