p. 133  Tir-mukna-Chanos salmoneus "at certain seasons of the year the waters of the Persian Gulf are covered by extensive patches of brick red scum, about the origin of which there are several theories. In this scum, shoals of large tir-muknas, up to 15 or 20 lbs in weight, are frequently observed. . . . They swim about with their backs above water and mouths wide open."

Log Mar. 22nd 1948
I left La Guardia airport on the ARAMCO "Flying Camel" about 12 noon today. Mother, Dad, Roz, and Nat saw me off. The weather was clear and spring like with moderate winds. 

Our first stop was Gander, New Foundland, which we reached about 7 P.M. New Foundland was still covered with considerable snow, and there were great many evergreen forests. Part of Gander Lake was frozen the other part open water. The temperature was probably in the thirties. 

We saw a most beautiful deep red sunset, something like the Arctic sunsets you read about.

After a meal of or including salt cod, we went on to Portugal. I wrote a letter to [[underline]] Lucile [[/underline]] and 1 to [[underline]] the folks [[/underline]]. 

It was a moonlight night and the clouds below us gave the appearance of great snow fields and icebergs on the ocean. It was not until later that I realized my error. We flew around 8^[[insertion]] 000 [[/insertion]] to 10,000 ft. up above sea level.
