Jan. 18
renumbered and placed in position the mouse
traps used for the last autopsy catch; Briggs
(one of the Coast Guard enlisted men) caught a
33 lb moray eel off the dock, first hooking it
and then spearing it; he took it over to
Johnston Island where they're authorized to
pay 50 cents/pound for morays by the University
of Hawaii; at 9:45 P.M. we went to the
other end and caught 5 Sooty Terns and
3 Gray-backed Terns for blood and specimens;
one of the Gray-backs had a definite
brood patch.
