No observations Using melted ice Coal consumed during the preceding 24 hours: 110 lbs Coal remaining on hand at noon: 54 tons 1978 lbs The pumping is done, as required, by hand at the quarter deck bilge pump. Sounded in 31 fathoms. Muddy bottom. A drift to north being indicated by the lead line. Lowered and hauled the dredge. Weather rainy or snowy nearly all day. Freshening and unsteady southerly winds with rapidly falling barometer and increasing temperature. Between 5 and 8pm a strong odor as of burning brush-wood filled the air, and from 7 to 10pm a very decided haze was observed. Whether there is any connection between the two circumstances remains to be investigated heretofore. Water temperatures and specific gravities Surface temperature = 34° - Specific gravity = 1.003 at 43° 2 fathoms = 31° - Specific gravity = 1.0250 at 43.5° 30 fathoms = 31° x - Specific gravity = 1.0250 at 43.5° x Miller-Casella No 24403 Moon 20° N.
