Busy morning, Shs A & S for Appeal Cases, from 10 till nearly 1.

Went out to see Sh Hamed, he seemed better, discussed appointments of new Kadi - his own Father-in-

Law.

Monday 6th January

Fort.

Innumerable people came in & kept me from court, AA Kozaibi about his house, which he threatens to sell
to King Ibn Saud, & Jasim Cherawe complaining about Kozaibi & Sh Da .

Court.

Thought there was bridge at Mespers, found none so looked in on DCs. Didn't go to Awali.

Thursday 9th January

Calf born

Took SNO out calling in Muharraq in morning. Usual programme, not very interesting. Then took James &
Bill by launch to Jiddah where we lunched. They enjoyed themselves greatly, a lovely day, cold in the
shade, pleasant in the sun. Found all well there. Later went over to Omm Ar Subaan where some work has
been done, rather an ugly fountain built which I am sure Max wont like.

Glorious sunset.
