Lehner P, 1984 68 Sept. 24 Jillson arrived at 10:50 A.M.; I took the Mike boat to Johnston, picked him up; afe chow at Holmes + Narver and then reported shipping wts., etc. to H+N shipping's got stencils made, then called Coast Guard and asked to be picked up at Terminal; Sutcliffe and Smith arrived about 1:00 P.M.; and we returned to Sand after running a few errands; while I was on Johnston Cam was putting boxes together at Transmitter Bldg.; we put several more together before chow; finished putting boxes together and painted address and shipping number on after chow; by the time we finished it was dark so we began by trying to catch Sooty Terns; it was immediately apparent we would not be able to catch many Sooties, if any at all; we were able to catch 160 Wedgetails between 9:00 and 10:30 P.M. which we put in 40 boxes; we had to catch them in nets - 2 catching and one boxing; we then rested and discussed the Sooty problem - we abandoned the mist net idea because of the small number of Sooties we would get in comparison to all the Noddies and Wedgetails; we figured we could get 5-10 sooties if we spent the night at it; this we decided would not be worth the effort; I tried to call Dr. Ely until 1:00 A.M. but due to numerous telephonic difficulties abandoned the idea.
