breezes at the end of the day. At 4.50 a', m stood for iceberg last 

 visited and stopped alongside of it at 6.35 a. m. Photographed it and 

 ascertained that it had drifted 279°, true, 0.6S knot per hour. (See 

 chart " F.") At 7.17 a. m. stopped off the second berg, photographed 

 it, and ascertamcd that it had cli-ifted 285°, true, 0.59 knot per hour. 

 Lay to and drifted, and at 11.50 a. ni., visibility high, sighted another 

 berg some 13 miles distant. At 12.35 p. m. stood for this berg, and 

 at 1.55 p. m. arrived alongside of it and made numerous photographs. 

 Determmed that this berg was the one visited about noon, May 6, in 

 lat. 42° 42' N., long. 51° 03' W. As it was found to be in hit. 42° 24' 

 N., long. 51° 38' W., it was assumed that it had di-ifted fii-st SW. and 

 then E. Mother Carej'^'s chickens, fulmars, and dovekies were seen in 

 the vicinity of the bergs visited this date. At 3.50 p. m. lay to and 

 drifted for the night. 



May 14, liglit W. to moderate WNVV. wind in the forenoon, increas- 

 ing to strong WNW. wind and moderate NW. gale in the afternoon; 

 partly cloudy to overcast; smooth to rough seas. At 5.50 a. m. 

 resumed search for icebergs, but observed none during the day. 

 At 2.25 p. m. stopped at oceanographic station 207, lat. 43° 32' N., 

 long. 51° 55' W., and experienced considerable difficulty in taking 

 observations on account of the rough sea. At 8 p. m. stopped at 

 station 208, lat. 43° 23'N., long. 52° 40' W., and took the usual obser- 

 vations, upcm the completion of which stood for station 209. 



May 15, strong to moderate NW. wind; mostly clear; rough to 

 moderate sea. At 4.25 a. m. stopped at oceanographic station 209 

 and, upon completion of the usual observations, stood to meet the 

 Modoc. At 3 p. m. met the Modoc, in lat. 43° 14' N., long. 53° 36' W. 

 The oceanographic observer and the scientific observer were trans- 

 ferred from the Tampa to the Modoc, whereupon the Tampa stood 

 for Halifax, Nova Scotia. 



Daily routine ice reports were sent to Ilydrographic Office, New 

 York; Fuelite, Nova Scotia; and Cape Race, Newfoundland, and 

 were also broadcasted.
