the Gulf. Court, didn't go in till late. as various people came to the office. Shaikh Rashid just as I was
going out. He is difficult to dislodge. Cole is still very worried over Trucial Gulf politics. Bathed in
afternoon & dined out at the Agency. A queer party, Bliss & Harvey from the navy & three of the
officers from the mail boat, the one that Coles had come up on, the same one that James travelled on.
They were quite nice, one was the brother of a man in Imperial Bank of Persia. I had hoped we were
going to play Bridge, as Harvey is good & very keen, but we sat on the veranda talking. Harvey said he
was very keen on tennis so I invited them tomorrow. Bliss was very gloomy at leaving here & going
down to Bombay on Bideford. Fisher wired that he couldn't come & stay. Hot evening.
