Saturday 22nd [January]
Joint Court. Shaikh had fever so left early. Very busy day in office. Went a drive in the afternoon & took photographs of the
villages near abouts, came back by Customs & saw the missionaries arriving, a new Lady Doctor from India, drove Parke back
to the Fort.
Sunday 23rd [January]
The brother of the Amir reported news about the robbers who attacked Senabolis on the day we went to India. It seems one
of them who was shot was hiding in a village on the coast up till ten days ago. Sent Parke some police in cars to search the
village. Drove out, with de Grenier, to Budeya in afternoon, had a look at the village which is very attractive, though
deserted, & had tea some miles beyond under some date palms. It really looked quite lovely in the evening out there by the
sea. Found Parke waiting when we returned not having found any real clues at the village. He stayed on to dinner.
Discussed the Kadi conspiracy.
