Lehner, P. 1964 Nov. 22 - continued 1 two days to go); the crew is no longer taking this ridiculous attitude toward the guns as a joke and I have long since learned to watch the gun and not the bird; I cannot help but shutter when I remember the loaded gun I found left in the raft for the native children to play over; at 9:00 we were relieved by Ken and George; at 11:45 George took a shot at a Noddy sitting on what they believed to be a log - the Noddy flew away but the ship swung around to investigate the log and found it to be a dark phase Wedgetail - it was hauled aboard and pickled; at 12:00 I took my first turn on the bow and proceeded to put on a display of wretched shooting; at 2:05 a whale spouted off the port; this afternoon the seas became rougher and the ship began rolling and pitching enough to make me queasy, especially on the bow; at 8:15 P.M. a flock of about 40 to 50 Sooty Terns, including immatures, started flying around the ship, calling as they passed in and out of the light; they remained with the ship until about 8:45 when they disappeared off to the south; none were seen to land on the ship.
