Told off to sponge out 4″ guns in port foreward battery in afternoon. Prepared for coaling later. Waiting to see if weather would improve enough
to go out firing, (as it had been pretty misty) until 2.15. No fog and so started coaling. Our hold only had about 50 tons in it which we cleaned
out in about an hour and so had pretty slack time. Finished coaling about 5.30. Took in 520 tons. Cleaned ship after tea. Duty Sub. Slept
forward.
