Fort. Recruits on musketry.

Dined with the Thornburgs.

Tuesday 19th April

Excavating after tea, Thornburgs & Mrs Weightman came round. Dined at Agency, met the new sloops

commander, Stansfield, a pale spotty individual but quite amusing. Not the typical navy in appearance.
Played Bridge late.

Wednesday 20th April

Fort. Very busy morning. Innumerable people came in to see me. Kozaibi about selling land, the KB &
various others. Heard that there had been a talk in Arabic on wireless quoted from Times & apparently
consisting of my recent article word for word. Tennis & Bridge as usual. Very few to tennis, but quite a lot
of Bridgers.

Thursday 21st April

Fort. Office. Went round to the school & looked at the technical school & big school too, all seemed to be
going well. Finished my notes on the Budget & on last years acccounts - a big job done.

Went to the tomb, not much to see there, thought of going to the movies but as Holmes was not well &
couldn't go I decided not to.
