Saturday [15th December]
Fort, everything very wet & rain most of the day. The fort is flooded in parts & the towers are falling down.
A lot of men have fever owing to mosquitos larvae on lying water. Along conference at the agency about oil,
Russell, Davies & Hamilton, Loch, Worth & myself. Went off quite well. Decided to do a survey of
municipal boundaries at once. Russell came over to me afterwards. Drove on Rafaa road, the only dry one,
dined with the Hakkens & Russells, quite a pleasant evening, D.G. was there. Rain on & off all day. The
roads are shockingly muddy.
