Awakened by Colin shaking me at 3 o’clock. Had Middle Watch but had heard no pipe & so was 3 hours adrift. Lucky was not reported so. “Fearless” & “Hydes” had collision in first watch while going at 20 knots but reached harbour safely. Arrived Rosyth at 4.30. Started coaling at 5.45. Took in 1360 tons. Finished about 11 o’clock. Second part of Starboard on forecastle all afternoon and 1st dog working cable. Got in anchors which had been got up during our absence.
