Had a good sleep last night. I had a bad fit of coughing when I woke up. The Naval seaplane went up for a short time this morning and circled over us. There was a scheme of disembarkment on for today, but it was cancelled later on. The order came through from City Benares that the Signaller H.Q. had to carry one Beglre lamp, two helios, telescope and small flags on disembarking. Things look more like going away now. The City of Benares and the Minnewaska left this afternoon with several other ships. We were booked for a boat drill from 5p.m. to 6p.m. but it was cancelled. They have hoisted the boats up and we might leave shortly. We had a concert at night time by ourselves.
