The pumping is done as required by hand at the quarter deck bilge pump. It is found that 1295 strokes 
of the bilge pump are now necessary each day to keep the ship free of water, whereas heretofore (and 
subsequent to July 15th) 240 strokes per diem were all that was required. 
The ship is heeled 7° to starboard, and the water line is at 7 feet 0 3/4 inches forward and 13 feet 1 3/4 
inches aft, and the increase of the amount of water coming into the ship is probably due to the melting of 
the ice at and around the injury to the stem. Measurements made of the thickness of ice at accessible 
localities show a diminution of 1 inch of the measurements recorded on the 13th, July.
Sounded in 38 fathoms. Muddy bottom. No drift being indicated by the lead line. Lowered and hauled 
the dredge.
Partially cloudy and foggy weather during the forenoon; thick and foggy during afternoon. Light northerly 
and westerly breeze veering to north-easterly breeze and light airs, and succeeded by a calm from 9pm 
to midnight. Very nearly steady barometer and increasing temperature.
