Lehner, P. 1964 92 Oct. 24 up at 7:30; at 8:30 Binion, Larry and George took one raft into Aradojairien and Aradojairik, off which we had anchored all night; the ship then went north in the lagoon to Jabonwar where it anchored; at 9:35 Ken, Roger and myself headed into Jabonwar, beaching the raft at 9:45; this island lacked much in bird life having mostly Hawaiian Noddies and Fairy Terns; the most prominent tree is Messerschmidia (actually a large shrub), with some fair sized Pisonia trees; Scaevola is prominent on the perimeter; on the eastern windward side, the Scaevola is heavily weathered; we departed Jabonwar at 10:20 having collected one Common Noddy; we arrived back at the ship in ten minutes, then sat around, had chow, sat around some more and finally weighed anchor at 12:30; the ship then headed South to pick up the other shore party off Aradojairik; we arrived their and picked them up at 1:10 - they had been waiting a long time and had finally resorted to sleep; however, they had good news from the island of Aradojaink- there are 60-70 nesting Brown Boobies with eggs and young, about 25 nesting Black-naped Terns (Cover)
