Use Mount a few minutes on the
path home, and watched the
nation take some buttery shots from
the Kerch, and pile them on the
"bush"
Thursday June 27
In the forenoon went over to Kitovi
with the Movie Camera. We
have two large bull weakens
on the rocks. Mr Thompson took
a movie of the large bull
getting with the water. His
movements were slow and
labored. This was just
done on Kitovi.
Wasted a few feet of film
by test all camera failed
for practice.
Harmon counted 146 bulls &
24 cows (1714 acres) 19 pups
Whitney + Parker a born with
100 bulls. 148 cows (45 acres) 41 pups
Early afternoon all flew
went over to Talaladi Battery.
Mr Whitney counted the 6
bulls and Karems on
both batteries and found
122 bulls
Ozford out I took quite a series
of movie pictures of a karem
with about a dozen cows.
During a temporary absence of the bull
a cow over came up from the
water and entered the karem. The
other cows greeted her by moaning
and biting. When the master
turned and saw the newcomer
he rushed through the karem to
the cow, but as he reached her
she broke away and went into
the water. He did not attempt
to detain her, and paid no
more attention to her.
A bull near by with only one
cow seemed sleepy and
paid no attention to the large
karem even when at mos
practically unguarded.
We went onto the Kaulau ground
and set up our Cameras at
the pond of the small cliff atop
the lower part of the mass
