Eskimoo Greenland
March 28 1917
The seismograph went all
right till 7 am then missed
to mark off the minutes at
8 30 I turned the long set
screw and the minutes were
again registered but I find
that I have not replaced
the hand hook on properly
and the Hour mark does
not register till 5 minutes
after the hour and the
secog not being correct
does not work of the minute
on the exact amount of the
clerk but made to get the correct time and
appointment later.
No shock off at 10 18
or at 10 20
I have no knowledge at present
as to the correct time
the chronometer is said to
be about 10 minutes fast
