Had Middle Watch. About the worst watch I’ve had since joining up. Could not get away from wind and felt chilled through. Very glad when Buxton
came up to relieve me at 4.0 A.M. Cleaned into coaling rig 1st thing. Saw Gooch on Boom defence ship as we were coming in. Arrived Rosyth about
9.30. Started coaling about 10.45. Took in 970 tons from Agnes Duncan. Good coaling. Finished about 2.0 p.m. Cleaned ship by 4.0 p.m.
