Wednesday 30th October
Went to the Fort as Sh K was on a murder case at Agency, the Omani who stabbed a water carrier for no
apparent reason. Several men re-enlisted & there were one or two cases. Saw Leigh & Tunnicliffe - I get
very tired of both, the former spoke about renewing his contract & said he would like to do another three
years.
Printed a lamp shade after lunch, drove to Gasen Point & later Steele came in to call. Dined with the Perfects
- a poor dinner & rather dull, the American doctor & Gornall were there. Pleasant weather. Saw Rance for a
few minutes about Miss Adamson, the whole affair is extremely irritating & I see we are liable to pay her 6
months pay for nothing!
Thursday 31st October
To Jidda in the afternoon by launch. A pleasant day, quite cool on the sea. Found all well there & took a
walk round the island in the evening.
