Meeting of the Labour committee at the Agency, Ward P proposed some pay increases because they had a
strike on the mainland. I objected & the RAF too, eventually, left for a few days to see what hapens about
the war. Stayed on some time & then to the customs, Leigh came in so I could do little work, at 2pm when I
felt I couldnt stand him any longer, he suggested that I should go then to see the power house or mill or
something - I refused so definitely that he looked quite startled. A dreadful little man
Intended going over in the launch but it was aground, drove round Muharraq. Later on bathed & went in to
see Ham on the way back. His assistant a very colourless man whose name I never remember was there &
later the Birds came in.
Theft of liquor at Birds house, the day after he moved to the Agency.
