The pumping forward is done by hand at the spar deck bilge pump, and such water as filtered 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 27 1/2 fathoms. Muddy bottom. A rapid drift to N.E. x E. being indicated by the lead line. 
Weather generally dull and gloomy until after 9pm. Light N.W. breezes backing after 3pm, and rapidly 
freshening to moderate gale by midnight, with rapidly rising barometer and decreasing temperature.
At 9pm faint auroral patches in south. At 10 brilliant arch 80° in alt. to the N'd extending from N.W. to 
S.E. advancing to and receding from zenith in graceful motions, while a mass of bright light pulsated to 
right and left of center of arch.
At midnight auroral arch 45° in alt to N'd extending from N.W. to S.E., with a single detached spray 
above it.
Calculation of the amount of the work done by the pumps show that the leak today is about 119 gallons 
per hour, or exactly 2854 gallons from midnight to midnight.
The usual monthly examination by the surgeon of officers and men is begun and continued to day.
