R.Clapp - 1964 Nov. 19. Kuria Atoll - Binion went ashore early in the morning unfortunately without the gun. He reports that he could have easily have collected some Crested Terns. He also saw a godwit which he believes is the same species as we have been collecting on the other atolls. I learned last night that this species is frequently eaten by the natives and is considered especially good eating. In the afternoon the ship moved over to Aranuka Atoll and Binion and the rest went ashore while I continued to skin birds on the ship. Nov.20-26 - En route to Honolulu Life is simple and routine. Skinned birds. Skinned more birds. Suffered from toothache. Skinned more birds. Got a mild case of salacylic poisoning. Skinned more bird. More toothache. And so on. Amerman took over the at-sea paperwork. Numbers of interesting birds were shot. Two White-necked Petrel, Slender-billed Shearwaters, Phoenix Island Petrel, Leache's Petrel. Nov. 27 While the others kept watch spent the day picking up and packing. Inventoryed gear and bands. (The 25th)26th worked on schedules and notes. Arrived Honolulu 5:30 Nov. 28 Felt ready for a hard round of "Martini" in the morning. Pulled my sagging shape together and worked on notes. More toothache.
