Mohamed Ferook, a big pearl merchant lately returned from Paris, came to call with Moh Sherif. A pleasant talkative one
eyed personage much interested in his health & full of, I think, Aix le Bains where he had been & where he drank 7 sorts of
water for 7 different ailments - he thought it fine! Went over to Agency to the trial of the two men, heard the end of it, the
driver got 18 months & the men 1 year each. Afterwards had a drink with Alban & Parke. In afternoon a deputation called
on me, Kuseibi, Yasim Kanoo & Zayani, to ask me to intercede with Alban on behalf of the culprits they then went on to
Alban. Tennis at the Spences. Played Bridge & then went in to dinner with Alban & discussed the bad behaviour of the
Shaikh. Found some more old books & sort of histories of Bahrain which I shall borrow & go over for a future book. Rather a
hot night.
