Tuesday [9th July]
Fort. I am trying out some men for promotion as NCOs. Abdul Hamed s/o Haj Sulman went off to India
to do a course of police training at Karachi police headquarters. I hope he will do well. Office.
Innumerable people came in, Mansoor al Arayth, Sh Sulman - to borrow money & many others. I am
taking a dislike to Sh Sulman as I find young Abdulla so much better & fairer. Tennis at Agency, quite
good. Cole is returning tomorrow. Decided to go to the Shaikh's island on Thursday for two nights. Hot
day. Discussed kadi question with Mansoor, his ideas are really extremely sound - and coincide with
mine which is of course satisfactory! The Shaikh is at the Palace. Hot day. Never seem to get time for
bathing now.
