The main engine bilge pump is worked as necessary by the steam cutters engine, and distilling is 
continued at other times. Engaged in cleaning and repairing Baxter boiler. Heated and jacked the crown 
sheet back to its place, and to prevent the accumulation of sediment over the center of the same, rigged 
a surface blow cock and pipe to carry the sediment from this particular part of the boiler. To overcome 
defects arising from leaky piston, cut two annular grooves around solid piston and prepared to fill the 
same with Babbitt metal, casting the same with the piston in place. 
The forward spar deck bilge pump is worked by hand throughout the day.
