meals. I read some and tried to study Spanish but couldn't.
May 1st was a fine morning on the ocean and I went out on deck about sun rise. While seated there I saw a dolphin fishing. You can read about the dolphin in your natural history. There were also some few gulls flying about, as had been the case each day before. One little bird was seen every day during the voyage. It is the kind that is known to sailors by the name of Mother Carey's Chicken. Quite a number of this little bird were seen. During the 15 days at least 10 different kinds of gulls were seen. One day when we were at least 1000 miles from the nearest land hundreds of one kind were seen migratig northward.
On the second of May we saw quite a lot of flying-fishes. These would dart out of the water and go through the air quite a ways by spreading out their long fins like the wings of a bird. Some of them flew as far as from over our house to Mitchells. More of these flying fishes were seen on the 3rd and even up to the last day
