Steele ill with malaria.
Phillips came in.
Agency got excited about an Indian who died & suggested he was murdered or suicide - without any
grounds.
Tea at Agency to meet Shaikhs - reminded me vicarage garden party & headmaster being kind to a few
pupils, quite awful, they were made to play croquet, except those who firmly refused.
Dined quietly with Mrs Graham, listened to gramaphone records, a young man from Awali there, very
pleasant.
Monday 16th June
Went out to Jafra to see the Police firing, & very poor results too. Court, some quite interesting cases. GP
arriving in a few days. Didnt go out pm but to Bridge at Mespers & then dinner with T.Ts. A dull party.
Saw Biddick, bridge builder, who arrived with 3 foremen, great job arranging to put them up.
Hot evening, the usual bara style, in evening it completely dies down.
