The auxiliary pump is kept going all the time, and the steam pump in the engine room is working about 
one half the time. Work progressing on the bulkhead across the fore peak and at midnight all but one 
upright plank is in place. Left this one plank out in order to secure a passage way while stringers and 
braces are bolted in place abaft the bulkhead to enable it to withstand pressure. Early in the morning 
shoved down plaster of Paris in the spaces between frames forward of the bulkhead, hoping that the 
action of the water on it will turn it into a kind of cement. Also poured in ashes and picked felt. The 
construction of the gearing for connecting hand bilge pump with Baxter boiler and engine is completed, 
but cannot be used until the completion of the bulkhead and the successful choking of the spaces 
between frames make it possible to keep the ship free by the deck bilge pump alone. 
A careful calculation of the performance of the auxiliary steam pump and the main steam pump gives 
the following result: 
Amount of water pumped by auxiliary pump her hour = 1608 gallons.
Running one half time amount of water pumped by main pump her hour = 2055 gallons.
As we hold the water in check the leak per hour = 3663 gallons.
