Thursday 25th July

Went out to the pearl banks in the launch afternoon. Very hot sticky day
- not very pleasant. Anchored at Fisht al Jarim. A heavy swell.

Friday 26th July

After an unpleasant night went to see the diving but didn't find many
as most of them were far off. Frightfully sticky & altogether a nasty
outing. Came back in afternoon.

Monday 29th July

Fort, office.

Court, finished the Shattam case but referred our judgement, 10 yrs, to
HH before announcing it.

Dined with Snow & went to a very good concert, a big audience, afterwards
to the Agars. Doble was with us, a pleasant evening.

Tuesday 30th July

St John Phibbs called, with Max, I didn't take to him.

Sh Mohammed returned, flags all over the town - especially in J la
quarter where the ladies of the town hang up their bright robes on poles
over their houses - a very colourfull effect.

Dinner Thornburgs, St John Phibbs was there, he talked interestingly,
went to movies & then to club, Hugh drove me out.
