We stopped the engine at 2:00 A.M. because
the water in the tank became overheated.
We have put the tanks in the engine
room and will not use the radiators be-
cause there is no space in the big room.
We had planned to run the circulating water
through these and aid the stove in heating
our quarters.
I have commenced to build a shelter
for my magnetic instruments. I am afraid
to leave them in the house on account of the
electrical equipment and its possible effects.
Monday & Tuesday, September 22-23, '93.
Allen and I are standing watch and
watch on the batteries getting them in shape.
They finally came to life Tuesday morning be-
fore we were forced to shut down with
the tanks steaming.
Jot and I went out to get the motor
boat started and run her over to the Point for
reaching. We got stuck in the frozen slush
and could not get the plates ashore when
we found the intake valve frozen up. Nothing
could be done but start the engine and we
poured the melt into her.
The batteries are finally charged.
