A great deal of the pumping to day is done by the wind mill pump, and the gate in the bulkhead forward 
is kept open in order to let the water flow aft readily.
The steam cutter's boiler is used for distilling.
Sounded in 40 fathoms. Muddy bottom. A slight drift to N.W. x W. being indicated by the lead line.
Weather dull and gloomy with a constantly overcast sky. Light easterly breezes, slightly rising barometer 
and generally increasing temperature.
At 10am the ship was inspected by the Commanding Officer; and at 1.30pm divine service was read in 
the cabin.
During the afternoon the horizon cleared a little and both islands heretofore mentioned were visible, and 
a third island was discovered, situated beyond these two and visible between them on a bearing of 
about S.W. x S. true. As by reason of intervening hummocks and ice ridges, exact bearings cannot be 
obtained from deck, the bearing of this island is estimated in points from the crow's nest aloft.
At 7pm an immense flock of ducks, estimated at 500, passed the ship, flying low and disappeared to the 
north (true).
