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 38 fathoms. Muddy bottom. No perceptible drift. Lowered and hauled the dredge.
Weather dull and gloomy. Light N. and N.W. breezes, rising barometer and increasing temperature.
The ice seems slack again, a large opening having occurred during the night near the ship, extending 
about a mile S.S.W. and N.N.E., in places a hundred feet in width, and distant about 200 yards.
During the afternoon the travelling party was in sight from aloft seemingly more than half way to the 
island.
The following bearings were taken:
Ship's head S. 10° W. (true) 
E. end of island No 1 = S. 10° 30' E. (true) 
S. end of island No 2 = S. 51° W. (true) 
N. end of island No 2 = S. 57° W. (true)
