Using melted ice
Coal consumed during the preceding 24 hours: 110 lbs
Coal remaining on hand at noon: 55 tons 618 lbs 

The pumping is done, as required, by hand at the quarter deck bilge pump. 
Sounded in 25 fathoms. Muddy bottom. A drift to east being indicated by the lead line. Lowered and 
hauled the dredge.
Light snowfall nearly all day. Northerly and westerly, backing to southerly and westerly breeze with 
slowly falling barometer and rising temperature. Sky generally overcast until noon, and partially clear 
thereafter until near midnight.
No marked change occurs in the ice in the vicinity of the ship. She is held within our ice-island of 
irregularly curved shape and about four miles in its greatest diameter. The water surrounding this island 
varies in width from one hundred yards to a mile, the greatest width being as a rule on the windward 
side. The ice varies in thickness from four to twenty feet, with small holes here and there through the 
thinner ice. The ship is heeled 6° to starboard and the water level is to day at 7 feet 2 inches forward 
and 12 feet 4 inches aft. The ice forward probably extends down to her keel, being the formation caused 
by under riding floes on January 19th. From the mainmast aft she is held by ice about 5 feet in thickness 
the surface of which is from one to two feet under water. The amount of water now coming into the ship 
from the damaged garboards (as supposed) is pumped out by about 300 strokes of the hand bilge pump 
per day. 

Water temperatures and specific gravities
Surface temperature = 34° - Specific gravity = 1.002 at 38.5°
2 fathoms = 33.5° - Specific gravity = 1.0035 at 38°
24 fathoms = 28.5° x - Specific gravity = 1.0262 at 39° x Miller-Casella No 24403
