"Almaack's" lookouts noted bombs or torpedoes dead ahead and on the starboard bow, and witnessed the torpedoing of around 1715. "Almaack" ceased fire at 1735, and stood down from general quarters at 1801. At 2020, the ship secured her cargo-handling details because of the wind and sea conditions, with six of her boats secured to the stern—a condition that soon changed with worsening weather; two boats swamped, and the remainder were sent ashore. All night the wind continued to blow, and "Almaack's" coxswains put their landing craft on the beach.
