SUMMARY OF RESULTS. 
401 
10 a.m. put dredge over, and veered 2700 fathoms. Obtained a series of temperatures Station 13G. 
at intervals of 100 fathoms down to 600 fathoms. At 4 p.m. dredge became entangled at 
the bottom, but was cleared, and came up empty at 5.30 p.m. At 6 p.m, made all plain 
sail. Weather cloudy with rain. 
Distance at noon from Cape of Good Hope, 1293 miles. Made good 119 miles. 
Amount of current 7 miles, direction N. 65° E.

Depth, 2550 fathoms; deposit, Globigerina Ooze, containing 35’22 per cent, of 
carbonate of lime (see Murray and Renard, Deep-Sea Deposits Chall. Exp. ). 
At 6.30 a.m. shortened and furled sails, and got up steam to sound and dredge. Put 
dredge over, and veered 3000 fathoms. At 9 a.m. sounded in 2550 fathoms. At 11 a.m. 
obtained serial temperatures down to 1500 fathoms. At 1.30 p.m. commenced 
heaving in dredge, which came up at 3.30 p.m. with a few specimens. At 3.45 p.m. 
made sail. 
Distance at noon from Cape of Good Hope, 850 miles. Made good 82 miles. 
Amount of current 10 miles, direction N. 51° E.
