Night defence sounded off about 12.0. A.M. Red & Blue Watches on. Had to train Searchlight as Red trainer was sick. Took nearly two hours to find
target and had to steam around firing ground three times before being able to do so. Fired 6 rounds from 4″ from Starboard guns. Packed up by
2.30. Hands called at usual time. Got under way about 6 o’clock. Fired 4″, 8 rounds per gun. Weather not very clear and firing very erratic.
Returned to harbour about 8 o’clock. No divisions but church in forenoon. Fletcher & Fate came on board in afternoon. Just started tea when their
boat came alongside which mucked things up. 4″ guns crew got in practice ammunition after tea. Got under way soon after 9 and did night firing
again. Picked up target first time and finished about 10.30. Firing much better.
