Shelling continued as usual . 

In spite of the efforts of the staff , dirty linen had now accumulated , and there was a shortage of bed linen and clothing . Candles were also in great demand for lighting . The Naval Chaplain , who made many visits to the hospital , procured a large number of new sheets from the local Fleet Club which proved invaluable . 

Graves had now to be dug in the gardens of the hospital , and this same Naval Chaplain conducted two funeral services . 

On this day the local Naval Passive Defence Officer procured a quantity of candles and extra clothing for the hospital .
