A slight breeze sprang up before daybreak, and at 3.50 a.m. there was a squall 
accompanied by rain and lightning. At 11 a.m. shortened and furled sails, and proceeded 
under steam to sound. At noon sounded in 2050 fathoms. At 1.30 p.m. put over 
trawl, veering 2700 fathoms. Obtained serial temperatures down to 1500 fathoms. 
The carbonic acid was determined in water from 50 fathoms, and amounted to 
29 '8 milligrammes per litre. At 5 p.m. commenced heaving in trawl, which came up 
at 7.30 P.M. containing a few specimens and several hardened pieces of clay, in which 
fragments of wood were imbedded. Proceeded under steam. 
Balat Island distant at noon, 81 miles. Made good 26 miles. Amount of current 
8 miles, direction S. 30° W.
