          Drove out after tea to the sand dunes & found little camp all ready, tent & ponies.  Very pleasant, dry &

          utterly different to Manama.

          At the sand dunes.


          Rode before breakfast but no luck with hares.  Met Sh Sulman who sent a donkey load of melons, grapes &
