Juno 3: Light airs and hroozos fn^iu NW. to WSW. Clear weather 

 and excellent visibility. The berg showed the results of the pounding 

 it had received during the gale, th(> I'ough seas, at temperatures 

 between 40° and 50° F., having materially reduced its bulk. It 

 appeared to bo not more than half as large as on tlie evening of the 1st. 

 At 9.50 a. m. proceeded to the westward to occupy occanographic 

 stations along the WSW. radial. Our noon sight, worked back by 

 dead reckoning, placed tlie berg in lat. 43° 05', long. 53° 03', with 

 a drift of 85°, true, 25 miles since it was located by the Tampa on 

 the morning of the 1st. The following occanographic stations were 

 occupied: Stations 315, 316, and 317. Fulmars and petrel were seen 

 and a brown thrush flew on board. Plentiful gulf weed and phos- 

 phorescence at night indicated Gulf Stream influences. Special ice 

 information was furnished the steamships OJijntp'ic and ^¥aul^:egan. 

 The steamship Winifredian transmitted the following report: "19.30 

 G. M. T. 41-34 N., 55-06 W., steering 277, 12 knots, w^ater 54, air 59, 

 wind north 3, partly cloudy ; visibility good; experienced 2 knot 

 easterl}" current from noon 2d to noon 3d." 



June 4: Light airs and breezes from NW., backing toSE.; wa>ather 

 clear. At 8.30 a. m., in lat. 43° 37', long. 51° 01', passed a grounded 

 berg w^ith a growler about 5 miles N. This berg, which consisted of 

 three rather large ice hummocks attached to a common underwater 

 base, was identified as one sighted by the Alodoc on May 11 in lat. 

 43° 09', long. 49° 40'. Occanographic stations 318, 319, 320, 321, 

 322, 323, and 324 were occupied. Traces of Arctic water were found 

 on the WSW. radial, indicating considerable mixing. On the SW. 

 radial temperatures show^ed Arctic water extending for 35 miles from 

 the SW. slope of the Bank. As long as this is present in such strong 

 character w^e may expect bergs south of the Tail. Jaegers, fulmars, 

 dovekies. Leach petrel, blackfish, jellj^sh, and Portuguese men-of-war 

 were seen this day. A mirage gave the illusion of a large sea plane 

 rising from the water and another that of a steamer upside down 

 above the horizon. Special ice information was furnished the steam- 

 ships Welcil-a and Lohi 



June 5: Light S. winds to fresh SW. breezes. Overcast and cloudy, 

 with good to fair visibility, followed by dense fog after 11.25 a. m. 

 In the morning we searched between the 50th and 52d meridians to 

 lat. 42° 40'. At 11.25 a. m., dense fog shutting in and continuing 

 for the remainder of the day, a course was laid for station 225, where 

 the vessel anchored at 8.40 p. m., lat. 43° 20', long. 50° 22' Special 

 ice information Avas given the steamship IJicl-fn'iK. 



June 6: Fresh SW. moderating to light W. l)re('zcs prcvaihMl with 

 fog in the early morning, followed by heavy iiaze, with Occasional 

 light rainfall; visil)i!ity fair to |)o()r. At a. m. under way and began 

 search for the bei'g^ i'cj)()rted })y thv Mnnchester Iinpor'f r on tlie 4tli.
