Hutchings who came in to see me later, departing tomorrow, she & the boy left yesterday. To dinner with
TTs, Pelly gave me & Hams a lift out there, a lovely night, the Godfreys there, a very pleasant party.
Sunday 20th May
Busy morning. Godfrey came in to talk about water, an interesting conversation, then Mahsen al Tajar who I
took with me down to the pier where I saw off Hutchings. Then Dr Doeg & Miss Ellson about hospital
affairs & Mohd Saleh, finally Ahmed Omran. Nice weather, cool breeze. Gold mohur in full bloom &
garden still very gay.
Monday 21st May
Fort. Leigh came in before I went to the Court. Sh Ali away, tooth trouble. Not many cases, later went to
the customs & then to Police Station. Discussed thefts from steamers cargo. Yusuf Khaduri lost about half
of a big import.
Went over the Fort in the afternoon to see how to fix up the flat for the British Police. Not very easy.
