Density at 60" F. at surface, 1 ‘02502 ; bottom, 1 ‘02574. 
Depth, 1050 fathoms ; deposit, Blue Mud, containing 22‘li per cent, of carbonate 
of lime (see Murray and Renard, Deep-Sea Deposits Chall. Exp.). 
At daylight observed the west coast of Luzon on starboard beam. Got up steam. 
At 7 a.m. proceeded under steam. At 9.15 a.m. shortened and furled sails, and sounded
