The work of pumping is continued by the Sewell pump in the engine room, while the carpenters are 
engaged in filling in the spaces between frames &c with plaster of Paris and ashes. As the work of filling 
in progresses the water rises between the frames forward of the bulkhead constructed in the fore peak 
eighteen inches forward of foremast, until at midnight it is dripping out under the berth deck at the shelf 
(or clamp). All water is allowed to run aft freely to engine room in order to facilitate the work of the 
carpenters.
