The Shaikh called on the SNO. I met him at Kozabera & we went off to the ship, the SNO said nothing &
the Shaikh was obviously very bored by him. He is evidently not accustomed to such affairs, he made
none of the right remarks so I prompted the Shaikh to ask about the row down the Trucial Coast, which
upset him as he didn't know what to say. Return call at the Palace. Equally frayed. The SNO lacks
imagination. Then went back to office & in the court for some time. Went to Sennad in afternoon &
bathed. It is a pity its so far off, it takes us 45 minutes & part of the road is very bad. The rumour about
Abdulla bin Jabr's marriage is incorrect. A pity.
