Water expended during the preceding 24 hours: 35 gallons Water distilled during the preceding 24 hours: 35 gallons Coal consumed during the preceding 24 hours: 1346 lbs Coal remaining on hand at noon: 88 tons 1101 lbs All the work of pumping is done by the Sewell pump in the engine room which running at the rate of 40 strokes per minute holds the water in check. Calculation of the work done by this pump at the above rate gives the extent of the leak at about 1800 gallons per hour, which compared with the calculations 27th inst shows a gain on our part of 450 gallons per hour. The work of filling in spaces between frames &c is continued. The fire which had been maintained under the Baxter boiler in order to keep the deck house warm enough to prevent the freezing of the deck bilge pump forward, is removed to a stove for the purpose of economizing fuel. 8am 4pm at midnight Water in fire room bilge 16 inches 16 inches 15 inches Sounded at noon in 30 fathoms.
