Sunday 12th January

Office, busy morning. A lot of work going on just now.

Motored down to Jaw, sat outside the tower & talked to the Police about the Census, some headmen from
the village came up & discussed it, but apparently not worried about it at all. Went to Awali on the way
back. I took James with me, he enjoyed the trip. All the country very green.

Dined with Grahams, a pleasant evening. Howes & Anderson present, sat & talked after dinner.

Monday 13th January

Fort, kit inspection, have now finished off the whole police. On the whole they have lasted well.

Office, Coates & a new young man came in. Court.

James went to Scout meeting, I went to see HH & then to hospital. H.H. very tiresome about his own

accounts so I took them all out & made him go over them with me & the factor present, which he did very
unwillingly & crossly. Horrid day, hot south wind & a lot of sand blowing.

Bridge at Mespers - a poor number, Dr M as partner.
