16 IKTERNATIONAL ICE OBSERVATION AND ICE PATROL SERVICE. 



along lat. 42° 30' N. between longs. 49° W. and 51° W. At 8 a. m., 

 made out a small iceberg nearly ahead and at 8.30 a. m. stopped 

 alongside the same and photographed it, and then continued on W., 

 true, course. At 10.25 a. m., passed a small growler on port beam. 

 At 10.57 a. m., set course 225°, true, for a large growler. Photo- 

 graphed it and then stood for another growler, which was found to 

 be a small one. At 1.30 p. m., set course E., true, to return to ice- 

 berg sighted at 8 a. m., and to search farther south from its position. 

 At 4.38 p. m., passed a growler on our starboard beam. At 6 p. m., 

 stopped alongside iceberg visited at 8.30 a. m., and drifted for the 

 nignt. At the end of the day, the Tampa was lying near a small 

 berg in lat. 42° 20' N., long. 49° 37' W. Another small berg and three 

 growlers were scattered in the vicinity of lat. 42° 15' N., long. 50° 30' 

 W. Light to gentle SE. breezes, with partly clear to overcast and 

 rainy weather, prevailed. 



At 4.40 a. m., April 11, steamed ahead on course 140°, true, to 

 return to the berg alongside of which we stopped for the night on 

 April 10, having drifted 9 miles from it during the hours of the night. 

 Picked up the berg and photographed it from various positions; 

 also ascertained that its drift was 90°, true, 0.25 knot per hour. At 

 11.40 a. m., set course 213°, true, for oceanographic station 184, in 

 lat. 41° 23' N., long. 50° 18' W. At 4.45 p. m., stopped at station 

 184 and took the usual oceanographic observations. At 8 p. m., 

 having completed the work at station 184, set course 350°, true, for 

 station 185, in lat. 41° 55' N., long. 50° 19' W. At 10.55 p. m., 

 stopped at station 185 and began oceanographic observations. 

 Lignt to moderate variable breezes, with partly clear weather, 

 prevailed during the day. 



April 12 began with our occupying station 185, where we completed 

 observations at 2.40 a. m., and tnen stood 352°, true, for station 186 

 in lat. 42° 25' N., long. 50° 20' W. At 5.18 a. m., passed close to the 

 small berg sighted at noon on April 10. At 6.20 a. m., stopped at 

 oceanographic station 186 and took observations. At 9.25 a, m., 

 completed observations and stood on course 13°, true, for station 187 

 in lat. 42° 55' N., long. 50° 22' W. At 11.20 a. m., passed two 

 growlers. As our noon observation showed that wo had overrun 

 station 187, the Tampa continued to station 188 in lat. 43° 45' N., 

 long. 50° 25' W. During the afternoon we passed a number of 

 growlers. At 3.30 p. m., stopped and took the usual observations at 

 station 188. At 4.45 p. m., stood on a 212°, true, course for a small 

 to medium-sized berg. At 5.12 p. m., alongside berg, stood around 

 it and took photographs. At 5.36 p. m., stood 163°, true, for station 

 187. At 10 p. in., passed a small growler close aboard and at 10.20 



f). m., stopped at station 187 and began observations. Fresh to 

 ight breezes, NE. to N., followed by light variable airs, with cloudy 

 weather and intermittent fo^s in the afternoon, prevailed. The sea 

 was from moderate to smooth. 



April 13 began with our taking observations at station 187, in lat. 

 42° 55' N., long. 50° 22' W. At 2.05 a. m. completed observations 

 and stood on a 124°, true, course for the southermuost berg sighted 

 on the 12th. At 10.50 a. m. arrived alongside the berg and pnoto- 



fraphed it from various positions. At 11.40 a. m. stopped alongside 

 erg and drifted. At 3.35 p. m., weather tliickening, stood for oerg 

 which was then some 5 miles to windward. At 4.26 p. m. very thick
