Naval Chaplain WWI - I need a name

I have a cover from HMS Sandhurst with an FPOa mc of 18 November 1918 - Sandhurst was a Repair and Depot Ship at Scapa Flow.

The cover was sent by the chaplain, it has on the reverse a cachet reading

"If not delivered, please return to / CHAPLAIN H.M.S. SANDHURST"


I cannot track down the name of the Chaplain. Can anyone assist?

The October 1918 Navy List lists the splendidly-named Rev. Arundel J.E. MacSwiney as the Chaplain aboard HMS Sandhurst, since 30th July 1918.
