The Police said it was impossible as the men were locked up, they refused to go in & count the prisoners.
H supposed he must have been wrong. Later when the sentries changed they found 4 men had got away
by the window. They took the bars out & climbed through. Very busy morning, innumerable people
came to see me. Met Sh Abdulla at the customs & talked over various matters. Got another dud pearl
which had been sold by the man we caught yesterday. Strong shamaal and very dusty - coll but
unpleasant weather. Fisher came round in afternoon. I took him out to Senian & then we went to Jufair.
The site of the canteen is unsuitable as ground too soft for foundations. Got a letter from Agency re naval
customs, they won't pay as they say its never done anywhere. I think they ought to.
