velvet & gold thread with a gold dagger & a gold sword, the others all very smart, the Shaikh wore a white silk under garment,
with gold embroidery, and a brown & gold bist & a heavily embroidered head cloth & gold agal, gold sword, studded with
pearls, ivory & gold dagger. He really looked very fine. Drank several cocktails. Tennis at the Agency after tea. Quite cold

have a rough passage.

Missed 3 days.
