Monday 9th [8 August]
The Shaikh came in. He is going out hunting at the end of the island making most of the fact that as Alban is busy over the
Mespers case there are no Joint Courts. Tennis at the Mission in the afternoon.
Tuesday 10th [9 August]
Meeting of Biladya at Muharraq, Alban attended. It went off very well & the members seemed quite reasonable and
intelligent. Afterwards went to see a house which can be used for meeting room & office. Came back in the launch & went to
call on Sayed Ednan, the Shia Kadi who was very pleasant & sensible, a nice little man, discussed possibilities of repairing the
big Shia mosque at Abu Nardaar which would be a polite move & would please the Shias very much indeed. Nothing to write
about. Motored in the afternoon.
