All hands called at 2.30. Fell in at 3 o’clock. Taken in tow by two tugs and shifted billets to the other side. Very cold job. Finished about 7.30. 10 o’clock. Still Cook of Mess. Carried on with lacing party in forenoon and afternoon. Snowed very heavily about noon. Had good fun snowballing until hands fell in. “Malaya” launched from Armstrong’s slipway, but was just too late to witness it unfortunately.
