Fort - Court all the morning, most of the time on a liquor case in which we caught 9 bottles of whisky
being taken over to Muharraq by two young merchants sons in a suit case. Got back rather late.

Drove to Muharraq & looked at some godowns in Shaikhs' houses for storing Ibn Saud's dates. A
Brigadier Hardy came to call with Peace, now O.C Levies, a huge man 6'7" & enormous girth - didnt
take to him. Dined with Hills to meet an RE Brigadier - Hudson or some such name, a pleasant man
keen on birds. Dinner was deplorable but enjoyed the party.
