June 3 - It rained like hell last night and when we woke up the wind was blowing hard. Lt. Com. Alderson thought we should return to the ship so we did - picked up a raft that came undone from that 2086. The day was woolled as we caught up on lost sleep and farted off playing cards. Returned to the island after dinner and put the camp back in a "livable" condition. Later on we were set to land but it started raining again so we waited out the rain and took ca 75 BFB returns and founded ca 100. It was another thrill-packed day. Ho Ho! June 4 - Today each person was on his own. I made a nest study of the Red-footed Booby and of the Great Frigate, also took a few returns. Later on I went out with Stadel and began to take egg measurements. Of the nest study, I sampled 50 nests on each side of the island (RFB) and 54 taken at random for the Frigates.
