No observations Using melted ice Coal consumed during the preceding 24 hours: 110 lbs Coal remaining on hand at noon: 53 tons 1578 lbs Max. temperature = 35° Min. temperature = 31.7° The pumping is done as required by hand at the quarter deck bilge pump. Sounded in 37 fathoms. Muddy bottom. No drift being indicated by the lead line. Lowered and hauled the dredge. Foggy weather all day. Light easterly airs with slowly falling barometer and uniform temperature. The engineer's force were engaged in work of clearing the sleeve in the stern deadwood. Removed all the packing from the stuffing box of stern bearing, allowing free ingress to the water. After the first rush, it was found that the engines and shaft coupled together and connected with the screw could be revolved without difficulty, the ice being carried off. Repacked the stuffing-box of stern bearing. The engines and all their dependencies are in perfect condition for service. The crew were engaged in sawing into convenient pieces the broken ice floes and removing them from alongside the ship.
