R.D. Kirkpatrick 1964 Journal Oct. Pacific south of Hawaii 4 I stood the 0000 to 0300 watch- Sun no birds but many falling stars. The tropical sky and sea are really beautiful. Many sooty terns and Petrels in feeding flocks. AM I wounded a Red-Tailed Tropiebird but it didn't come down. PM I killed an immature Masked Boobie with 2 shots from a 12 ga. pump. Bratley skinned it. Oct. 5 Several birds seen but I Mon killed none. Oct. 6 A Restailed Tropiebird and a Great Frigatebird were shot. I skinned the Frigatebird. It was rather laborious. Oct. 7 Practically no birds seen. We are at the far corner of the grid and are more than 1,000 miles SW of Honolulu. Luminescent bacteria or plankton is fun to observe under the bow at night.
