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: 400 lbs Coal remaining on hand at noon: 32 tons 2138 lbs Max. temperature = -6.2° Min. temperature = -13° 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 36 fathoms. Muddy bottom. A rapid drift to N.N.W. being indicated by the lead line. Strong S.E. wind all day with rapidly falling barometer and slowly rising temperature. What little snow is left on the surface of the ice is swept along in drifts here and there. During the forenoon the old lead 1/2 mile astern of the ship opens to a width of 50 yards, and extending in a curve from N.W. to east. Alexey and Aniguin, going out to the lead, see, kill and bring in a seal. Water temperatures and specific gravities Surface temperature = 29° - Specific gravity = 1.0250 at 41.5° 2 fathoms = 29° - Specific gravity = 1.0250 at 42.5° Moon 10° N. New moon
