Up at 0620A. We had low clouds and since the B-18 needed some repairs we went back to Gander right after dinner. Smitty & I carried almost all the eqpt [[equipment]] back to the lab when Lt. Merrium decided to get the pinpoints of Gander. We climbed up to 18,000 and made about three shots of Gander. We had very little oxygen and less masks so whenever I felt weak I had to open a valve on an emergency bottle and leave the oxygen blow in my face. We only stayed at that altitude awhile so it didn't effect [[affect]] me much. The air pressure at 18,000 is just half of that at sea level. After supper Smitty & I developed some film at the lab. My tooth bothered me like hell. Its coming out in the morning. Bed 2330A.
