Lehner, P. 1964 Oct. 15 up at 7:50 A.M.; the radio check had been made by Binion at 7:00 - the raft was to start out at 8:00; by 8:00 the rains started in in small showers (we had showers during the night); we checked the mouse traps but found nothing but hermit crabs; they were re-baited with coconut meat and re-set; 8:50 the rain set in for good (still raining light at 12:15); six of the crew arrived at 9:30; we sat around the tents (most of the crew wandered over the island) hoping the rain would cease so George and Ken could go with the crew to survey the other islands; by 11:25 we gave up and the crew left for the ship; shortly thereafter the traps were checked again but no mammals had been caught; the spiders on this island are extremely thick having spun webs between nearly every bush; I'm constantly brushing webs off my face; 1:30 rain about stopped; from 1:30 to 3:30 everyone but me poisoned fish (my feet are still healing); the fish-kill was very effective - we turned up possibly 40 species of fish and eels; the fish were identified to the best of our knowledge for Chris, who took a sequence, and then they were formaldehyded; had a radio check at 6:00; 7:20 we all set out to collect blood but managed to get only a little baby blood and a little blood from (ovar)
