The pumping forward is done by hand at the spar deck bilge pump, and such water as filters aft through 
and under and 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 56 fathoms. Mud and fine sand. A moderate drift to W. x N. being indicated by the lead line.
Weather clear, bright and pleasant. Freshening breezes from E.N.E., with falling barometer and an 
increasing temperature until 3pm from which time it again decreases.
Crew engaged in digging down through the ice on the port side of the stem, in an effort to reach the 
fore-foot. The ice was first bored to a depth of 10 feet 2 inches without getting to the bottom of it; next a 
hole was dug 4 feet in depth, and from the bottom of this hole a boring was made to a depth of 10 feet 2 
inches, still not reaching the bottom of the ice at 14 feet 2 inches; but water now came oozing in to fill up 
the space dug, and further effort was not made. It is fair to assume that the thickness is of more than 
one floe, and that the water flows in between the blocks as they lie one above the other.
An opening occurred in the ice about 500 yards to the eastward of the ship, and partially closed at 
10pm, the ship receiving several slight shocks as the edges of the ice came together.
The island remains in plain view all day, and at times after 6pm a very strong appearance of higher land 
beyond and to the westward is seen, seemingly connected by a snowy slope into what we have called 
an island.

Water temperatures and specific gravities
Surface temperature = 29.5° - Specific gravity = 1.0242 at 46°
2 fathoms = 29° - Specific gravity = 1.0246 at 46° 
54 fathoms = 30.5 - Specific gravity = 1.0274 at 46°
