Afterwards A & I had a bathe, about an hour in the sea, & then lunch, a great dish of rice with a sheep & about a dozen
rabbits on the top all cooked whole, & very good dates sprinkled over the mat. Hungry so much enjoyed it. Slept afterwards
& went back before sunset to Budeiya where the car met us & took us to Manama.

The total bag, of the Shaikh, was 3 gazelle & 17 hares.

Saturday [18 June]

Went down to customs & then a Court. Rather a busy morning. Very hot & damp. Really no news. Went over to Agency to
discuss with A the question of the case against the Landing Coy. The Indians are going to file a suit against him.

Motored in afternoon, then called on Parke & then dined at Mespers. My new silugi which the Shaikh gave me is a beauty - I
took him out in the afternoon.
