WEATHER: "A January gale was roaring up the Channel, blustering loudly, and bearing in its bosom rain squalls whose big drops rattled loudly on the tarpaulin clothing of those amongst the officers and men whose duties kept them on deck."
DESCRIPTION: "Lieutenant William Bush came on board HMS Renown as she lay at anchor in the Hamoaze and reported to the officer of the watch, who was a tall and rather gangling individual with hollow cheeks and a melancholy cast of countenance, whose uniform looked as if it had been put on in the dark and not adjusted since."
