Lehner, P. 1964 84 Oct. 23- continued effort on the island birdwise; after deciding to turn in for a good nights sleep, all of us except Hen and Roger decided to chance sleeping on the beach in lieu of the numerous rats and mosquitos that inhabited our camp; at 7:00 the rains drove us off the beach and back to the shelter where we all managed to catch some shut-eye; Bimon made a radio check at this time informing the ship of our desire to leave as early as possible in the A.M.; we were without a raft as two of the crew members brought us in and then took the raft back to the ship - one of the many useless, time consuming, ridiculous moves that has been made in regard to getting us on and off the islands throughout the trip; we slept we until 3:20 A.M. when an extra heavy down pour cause puddles to form on our tent-fly and let streams of water pour in on many of the other fellows - for once I had the best spot and caught very little water; the storm ceased quickly and we were back to sleep.
