home. A good lunch, well cooked. Mohammed told a long fable about an Arab King & the wager which
went on for about twenty minutes. Went to the Mission in afternoon.

Wednesday [13th March]

Fort. Went over to Hedd in the morning. Saw the School, it seemed to be doing very well, there were
about 100 boys present & many more on the books. Then looked at a bit of land under dispute. Hedd is a
messy little town on a narrow spot of land between the seas, the houses are tightly massed & it consists of
very narrow lanes, all very dirty. Saw the new Police Station which we have built there, very smart, clean
& nice, with a comfortable cool office which I can use when I visit the place as I often do. Tennis party
in the afternoon, a lot of people.
