R.D. Kunkpatrick McBee 1964 Journal Sept. Pacific Ocean 28 YAG (Yard Auxiliary General) 40 Mon U.S.S. Hall left Pearl Harbor at Honolulu with 5 Pacific Project personnel aboard (Hould, Sundell, Bratley, Whitman and myself) and 2 boys from the Univ. of Hawaii (to take oceanographic data). Bratley and I share an officers cabin but all of us except Hould eat in the enlisted mess. I stood the 1st watch, from 10PM to 12AM with Sundell and the 2 to 4 watch with Hould. We stand or sit on the helicopter landing deck which is a raised portion of the fore castle. The sea is scanned with sunglasses and birds sighted are recorded. We saw White Tailed Tropic Birds, a Great Frigate Bird, Brown Boobies, Red-Footed Boobies, Wedge Tailed Shear- waters, Sooty Sheawaters, Sooty Terns, Noddy Terns, and Petrels (probably Cooked). 8PM David Bratley and I were asked to leave the Officers Ward 100
