Sounded in 30 fathoms. Muddy bottom. A slight drift to west being indicated by the lead line.
Weather clear, bright and pleasant though extremely cold. Light southerly and easterly airs and steady

At 3am auroral streaks and patches in all directions; at 6am faint streaks of aurora through zenith from 
20° W. to E. horizon. Bright starlight; at noon bright red glow on southern horizon, continuing until 2pm.
From 6pm to midnight there were brilliant arches and curtains from N.W. to S.E. at altitudes north of 40°, 
60°, 75° and 90°, and generally broad streaks and bands of aurora at all points south of zenith. The

pulsate across it to a large mass at S.E. extremity. Light generally white flashing into pale green.
