resting on the water.
I did not mention that
the 20th we saw the first
white rumped Petrel. Only
the one was seen.
As we went along near
shore we saw Boobies Fregate.
I believe there may be two
kinds of Boobies, they seems
to be a difference in adults
altho this may some be 1st
year birds.
The sea is still very calm
but there is little breeze. We
have run into a storm any
and it is raining this
evening.
June 28 Sun.
Arrived in Manguillo
during the night. Manguillo
is very small and extremely
poor and dirty. It is simply
a port and Railway terminus
for Coloma, Guadalajara and City.
We went ashore after breakfast
and walked thru the town
out into a lagoon region.
The hills upon which Manguillo
are built are covered with
brush and trees 30 high,
but at this season quite dry
