Latitude by observation at noon Sun N. 73° 31' 6" Longitude by chronometer from afternoon observations Sun W. 176° 58' 15" Water expended during the preceding 24 hours: 35 gallons Water distilled during the preceding 24 hours: 35 gallons Coal consumed during the preceding 24 hours: 220 lbs Coal remaining on hand at noon: 51 tons 1853 lbs Max. temperature = 17.5° Min. temperature = 14.7° The pumping is done as required by hand at the quarter deck bilge pump until 5.30pm. After 5.30pm, the gates in the forward water tight bulkhead are closed, and the greater part of the water coming into the ship is pumped out by hand at the forward spar deck bilge pump in the deck house; while such water as filters through the water tight bulkhead or under it aft into the fire room is pumped out from time to time by the steam cutter's boiler driving the altered main engine bilge pump. This change in the manner of pumping is rendered necessary by the risk of freezing and bursting the quarter deck bilge pumps if kept longer in use. The steam cutters boiler is also used for distilling. Sounded in 38 fathoms. Muddy bottom. A drift to S.S.W. being indicated by the lead line. Except for a little clearing in the middle of the day the weather is generally cloudy and dull. Light north- easterly wind backing to fresher north-westerly wind which continued at midnight. Steadily rising barometer and uniform temperature. Carpenters engaged in building porch outside of deck house door. Moon 17° N. Full moon
