Went to Jeddad in the afternoon to bathe.
Saturday 7th June
Office. Dr M came in & I spent some time at the Agency discussing Dundas' education report. Decided not
to go forward with it, an inopportune moment.
Rode after tea, Senobis, Jedhafs, Z y & back by the lake. The villages & gardens looking very peaceful &
rural.
Dinner party at Snow's for Holmes, but Holmes left before dinner as he had a very bad cold. Had an
interesting talk with Harrison, met his wife - dull & typical missionary.
Sunday 8th June
Office. Nothing much going on. Saw various people.
Holmes looked in to say Goodbye, going on leave to India & then Bushire.
Dr McDowall gave me a picnic at Portuguese Fort - quite pleasant. Some bathed but the tide was out so
miles to walk before reaching deep water.
Took Mrs Alban out in our car.
