Nov. 7
today threatened to be raining all day long
but slowed up to occasional sprinkles by
mid- afternoon; we did what we could on the
ship during the rain - some skinning, some
reading and some sleeping; at 3:00 P.M. George
and I went to the runway to collect birds -
George got his telegram off at Communications
Center and I was treated to a wealth of
hospitality at the Fire House while I waited
for George; they followed us with the
crash truck, as they have every time we
collected in the catchment basin, but we
could find no waterfowl and consequently made
no collections; we returned to the ship and
deposited the gear and then went ashore
to the Snack Bar for supper; we spent the
night on the ship at the cinema.
