Drove over to Muharraq in the afternoon.
Sunday 20th September
Archdeacon Stewart & his wife arrived by steamer & came ashore after breakfast to stay with us for a
few days & then going to Awali.
Not much going on in the office, its a lazy month & people seem to be doing less & less every year.
Sh Mohd came in - for a loan.
Didnt go out after lunch, cut the grass on the lawn.
Dr Doeg & Miss Rodrigues & Gunn came in. After an early dinner we went to church at Awali, a big
congregation & very good singing, afterwards to the Green Room where the soldiers were given tea &
buns. They all seemed to be enjoying it very much.

Office, talked to W who sounded in a very bad temper & full of abuse of D.C. Spent most of the
morning telephoning to various people. Discussed sea road extension with Mohd Saleh. Drove to
Budega in the afternoon, road seemed very bumpy. Nice cool dry day.
