Gardened in the afternoon & later went to see HH at his small house, sat on the bench outside the meglis
where it was very cool. Some muddle over some of Abdulla's sons who asked for a lift by air to Mella in
Casoc plane - it has been assumed that it is HH who is going there. Mylrea came to dinner, he looked very ill
but seemed to enjoy it & we sat talking till 11. Discussed Bahrain in the old times & Sh Jamin & the mission
school. Saw Howarth about his going.

Wednesday 7th August

Curious weather, not really hot & very gray, for days we have hardly seen the sun. Rather sticky before
breakfast but later not unpleasant. Spent the morning between Customs, Fort & Elec office. An Iraqi tried to
shoot a prostitute, didnt kill her & then cut a vein in his arm & died an hour later. A

Bathed at Senian after driving round by Gasari.
