Lehner, P. 1964 Nov. 5 110 still held over in Trwajalein awaiting a second mate we all arose (except Chris who has become crepuscular and nocturnal to the point where his pupils are enlarging; every now and then the ship rocks violently knocking him out of bed, and since he is too tired to crawl back up and in, he stays up); Roger scampered off in the early morning light to check the mist net but found nothing had yet been fooled; George, Ken and I wrapped three barrels of fish and stored them in the hold; Larry and Roger skinned birds and Binion worked on public relations; the stress and strain of our extended visit is no longer telling only on us but also on the security guards who have required us to turn in or pick up passes as we leave the pier and in many cases have asked for I.D.'s; despite this fact the crew of the Shearwater has poured hundreds of dollars into the PX and an equal (or near equal) amount into the clubs.
