The auxiliary pump is kept going all the time and the engine room pump about one half the time, 
keeping the water in check and occasionally gaining a little on it. Finished the construction of the 
bulkhead by midnight, ready for caulking. The cinders and ashes, and plaster of Paris not seeming to 
get down sufficiently low to check up all spaces between frames it is decided to cut away the ceiling 
above and below the bilge strakes to give easier access to the spaces. Work progresses slowly because 
of our having but two men able to properly handle tools and fit materials. 
Cut through the floe in two places to get soundings but at a depth of four feet came to another floe which 
has shoved under it. Water flowing up prevents cutting through this second floe.
