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.
The engineer's force are occupied in putting the wind mill pumping gear into working order.
Weather generally dull and gloomy, the sun occasionally however breaking through the clouds. Light 
variable airs and calms. Rising barometer and uniform temperature.
John Lauterbach (coal heaver) sustained a severe sprain in the back by reason of an accident in the 
transporting of a skin boat over the ice. He was one of a party of men engaged in this work, and while 
carrying the boat on their shoulders, it slipped and brought too much weight on this single man.
At 8am the ice was found to have opened in numerous long lanes, some connected and some single 
extending generally in the N.N.W. and S.S.E. direction. By making occasional portages boats were able 
to go several miles from the vessel, but for the ship herself there were no ice openings of sufficient 
magnitude.
Sounded in 40 1/2 fathoms. Muddy bottom. A slight drift to W.N.W. being indicated by the lead line.
The strong appearance of land mentioned on the 18th inst. proves to day to have been land in fact, and 
for reasons similar to those herein set forth (in the remarks of the 16th inst) it may be recorded as 
another discovery. This second land is an island, of which the position and present distance are yet to 
be ascertained. The following bearings were taken.
Ship's head = S. 14° W. true
Eastern end of island first seen on 16th inst. = S. 17° W. true
Nearest end (southern?) of island seen to day = S. 69° 30' W. true
The following sextant angles were taken from the crow's nest.
Island first seen subtends an angle of 2° 42' - island seen to day subtends an angle of 3° 35'
Island first seen has an altitude of 0° 16' - island seen to day has an altitude of 0° 10'
Interval between two islands = 49° 55'
