HH went to the hospital, he was in very good form & most interested, what
amused him most was operation bed which we played about with, moving it
up & down & round about.

Went to Jidda P.M. Very pleasant on the sea. Slept on the launch for
fear of mosquitoes.

Friday 6th September

At Jedda.
Sailed over to Om al Nasaa in the little sailing boat with four of the
police, great fun & enough wind to go. Bathed there & had a look round,
mosquitoes said to be very bad. Sailed back & left for Manama early.
Got very sun burned. Cinema with Lipp & then played bridge there &
dined.
