Maker 1959 Journal day. Walked down to shore after lunch. A party from Richfield Oil landed there with a Widgeon + a super pipe cruiser or something on floats. They are camping near the old cabin at the coast. We measured the Swallow nest in the cabin, (2 1/2 x 4 1/2 miles) photographed the cabin. There was an enormous flock of Pettawake on the bar, anywhere between 1+2000 of them, many immature. After supper 2 of the 3 oil men came up to visit, we chatted for a couple of hours then went to their place for a couple of beers. Back by midnight. A beautiful calm evening. Flock of Murre were passing along shore heading East. They went by for 2 hours almost continuously. Pettawake about a few Densmo Bulls. A few whales were feeding offshore. Aug 8-16 Peter Lake, Alaska. Hank + I were finally picked upon the 11. I did little in the interval of waiting except read, cook, & inspect ditch, etc.. In the morning of 11 I walked to the pomarine nest. Found that the chick was gone, parents still about. Judging
