Usual routine. Should have gone out Sub Calibre firing and prepared for sea at 11 o’clock. Weather however was unfavourable and so washed out.
Cleaned into coaling rig at 1.30. Collier did not come alongside until 4 o’clock. Took in 360 tons from Frances Duncan. Finished about 5.15.
Cleaned ship afterwards and finished about 7 o’clock.
