Depth, 2700 fathoms ; deposit, Red Clay, containing 27 '59 per cent, of carbonate Station 6 5. 
of lime (see Murray and Renard, Deep-Sea Deposits Chall. Exp.). 
At 3.30 p.m. got up steam, and at 4 p.m. shortened and furled sails, and proceeded 
under steam to sound. At 5 p.m. sounded in 2700 fathoms. Obtained serial temperatures 
at intervals of 100 fathoms down to 1500 fathoms. Sent down German water-bottle, and 
obtained sample of bottom water for analysis. At 7 p.m. completed temperatures, and 
at 7.15 p.m. proceeded under all plain sail. 
Distance from Faval at noon, 960 miles. Made good 102 miles. Amount of current 
18 miles, direction N. 19° K

Depth, 2750 fathoms; deposit, Globigerina Ooze, containing 3 5 '31 per cent, of 
carbonate of lime (see Murray and Renard, Deep-Sea Deposits Chall. Exp.). 
At 3.40 p.m. got up steam, and at 4 p.m. shortened and furled sail, and proceeded 
under steam to sound. Sounded in 2750 fathoms. Obtained serial temperatures at 
intervals of 100 fathoms down to 700 fathoms. Sent down slip water-bottle, and 
obtained sample of bottom water for analysis. At 7.40 p.m. made ail plain sail. 
Distance from Fayal at noon, 780 miles. Made good 180 miles. Amount of current
