Lehner P. 1964 Nov.3 up for early chow 7:30; Roger was off early in the morning to check the mist-net but found nothing had been caught; tomorrow we are to leave port, but will not if a new second mate does not arrive; had a large mail call this morning and everyone busily opened long awaited letters - most ironically expressing the desire to be out here; at 12:30 Roger and I took the C-47 flight to Roi-Namur in anticipation of collecting some birds - however, we were held in check by the Security Guard and were not allowed to use the gun; thus stymied we called Mr. Coethlen on Roi, explained our circumstance (to no avail) and then returned on the 2:00 flight to Kwajalein Island; at 2:30 we put down on Kwajalein and could see Ken, George and Harry on the taxiway with the gun - Mr. Lomski (Deputy Security Guard on Roi) was also on the plane - watching his reaction when he saw them was a real pleasure- it was as if he had caught his wife in the bathtub with Mr. Clean; they returned from the runway at 4:20 with 2 Shovellers, 2 Duck sp.?, 1 Black-bellied Plover, 1 Sanderling, 1 Snipe sp.?, 3 Curlew sp.?; as soon as these birds were deposited in Lab #1 Roger and Harry once again (over)
