Sounded in 75 1/2 fathoms. Muddy bottom. A slight drift S.E. being indicated by the lead line.
Weather generally clear, bright and pleasant until after 6pm when extensive ice openings caused 
considerable fog. Light W.N.W. airs backing to south and blowing fresh breeze at midnight in squalls. 
Generally steady barometer and variable temperature.
Sunrise and sunset both obscured by clouds or fog.
Crew engaged in clearing out frost deposits from deck house.
At 6pm the ice opened about two miles to the W'd -, and by 9 the opening extended in an irregular curve 
from west around by north to N.E. averaging two miles in distance from the ship and varying in width 
from two feet to fifty yards.
At midnight the ship received several severe shocks as if passing over and striking blocks of ice. As all 
ice openings had closed to the N'd and a small opening had occurred to the southward, the shocks may 
have been caused by the coming together of floes.
