Sunday [31 July]
Customs, then went over to the Agency where the Shaikh was calling. Stayed there some time, talked about the new Biladya
also the article in the newspaper. Alban came over to my office later & suggested searching houses of two men who are
suspected of having sent the article. In afternoon Mohamed Ali Jamal, al Bassam & another Arab, & Parke, came to tea. After
that Parke went off to Muharraq to one house & I searched the other one here close by. We got lots of papers & stuff but I
dont know if anything of proof. Parke came in to dinner afterwards. It amuses me to think what a stir this will cause, the
coffee shops will simply buzz with excitement about it.
