Lehner P. 1945 JAN. 23 In the afternoon we made two shots with the complete cannon net rig; we made the shot on the beach south of the old pier and shot into the wind - the wind blew the net back some on both shots, but worse when the cannons were elevated to about 15° on the second shot - after the two shots we feel we have the cannon placement, direction and angle down pretty well and the wiring down - with the loxan & on this time, the un-shunted charges did not go off; in the P.M. we mapped the Sooty area on the ground - at 2225 they were still coming to the Island in large numbers; I would estimate that there were not less than 200,000 Sooties on the Island at 2400; checked the Grey-back eggs - on the pier I found the 2 eggs near the edge of the pier missing and 2 crabs very close by - if circumstantial evidence is worth anything, I would hint that crabs may be causing some egg destruction.
