Transcription Notes:
Some of the station letters (A, B, etc.) are drawn (hand printed) with some elements of the letters double-lined such as the upright of K, the right arm of A, etc. I notice that very often the struck through words are then used. See pages 426 - 428 for discovery of the stone house ruins, ship's channel, & reservoir. See pp 550 - 554 for 7/17/62 Hall's second visit to the site.
