Service
On 1 October, 1915, Lt. Edward Blake Hoyle was appointed in command of the new sweeping sloop. On 2 December 1915, she collided with a transport. Hoyle was informed that he should have been more direct in his order that course was not to be altered except in emergency. In May of 1916, it was discovered that another collision had occurred with the Manques de Mudela, and that Hoyle had failed to report this at his first opportunity and supplied an unsatisfactory explanation for the failure.
Whatever dings the vessel had acquired through these misadventures were forgotten, however, when she had her bow nearly blown off by a mine in July, 1917. Hoyle was able to save his vessel.[6]
