No observations 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: 290 lbs Coal remaining on hand at noon: 43 tons 1343 lbs Max. temperature = -4° Min. temperature = -22.5° The pumping forward is done by hand at the spar deck bilge pump, and such water as filters aft, through and under the bulkhead, into the fire room, is pumped out by hand at the bilge pump attached to the main engine. The steam cutter's boiler is used for distilling. Sounded in 26 1/2 fathoms. Muddy bottom. A slight drift to W.S.W. being indicated by the lead line. Weather generally bright and pleasant. Light northerly and north-westerly airs, steady barometer, and low temperature. Between 6 and 9pm a sudden and large increase in the temperature due perhaps to an opening in the ice and escape of heat from the water beneath. At these hours the sky was entirely overcast and a haze prevailed. Moon 13° N. Full moon

Low temperature as a rule, except at nine and six p.m., when some ice opening made heat escape from water exposed, and the temperature jumped up.
