Oct. 4 up at 5:55 A.M. to go on early
watch; deck still wet from last night's rain;
rain threatened and caught up with us
from the South at 6:35; Binion collected
a Wedgetail which Huber immediately started
mounting for the ship's wardrobe; rain also
in P.M.; gained an hour at night; couldn't
sleep so I went up on the bridge where
I talked to Jim (the huge Hawaiian) about
Michener and Hawaii - he informed me that
"The Fort", also known as the "Big Five", is
composed of the Dillinghams, Castles, Bowens,
Waterhouses and Bishops; he said that the
Kees in Hawaii were probably the Tongs;
finally made it to bed and sleep about
2 A.M. - it appears to be hard to get
away from the Sand Is. routine.
