Wednesday 16th September
Fort, went to hospital, new ward nearly done. Call from an RAF purchasing board - a very common
trio, I didnt take to them.
Went to library & got a supply of books, people came to call in evening.
Thursday 17th September
Fort. Office. Hills came in to see some pearls also two Americans, Garry Owen from Jidda and
Lebkuker - from Al Khooar, the latter invited us to go over there which I hope to do. It would be a
pleasant change. Rather a lazy morning. Dixon came in. Went to Jidda after hearing the news -
which was gloomy from Russia.
Friday 18th September
Jidda.
Spent a lazy day doing nothing in particular, quite a strong breeze blowing. The launch came in the
afternoon and we got back at sunset taking 1 1/4 hours - good time but the crew speeded owing to
wish to get back & break the fast.
Saturday 19th September
Office. Very little going on. Dixon came over.
