Thursday 27th February

Fort. Quite a hard day.

G.P. left for India, plane took a long time landing owing to the mist. Office. Innumerable visitors, leading
Baharna about various cases, Chadwick about special police & then Dr M & Steele. Had no time to get
any work done except seeing people. Drove out after tea & then Gymkhana Club annual meeting, nine out
of 45 members were present. Discussed possibilities of a club house. People to dinner, Howes, Furbers and
Chadwick. Sh Khalifah being tiresome over money, like all these young men he is heavily in debt.

Friday 28th February

Took James & Bill to Jidda island for the day. A lovely day. Saw about a dozen rabbits, the place is
swarming with them, all from the original three which we put down. Had lunch there & tea in the launch
on the way home. Altogether a very pleasant day.
