sunset time & the sky pale green, safron & deep red & orange. The weather just now is perfect. Miss
Oledemoth & one of the young men from the oil camp came in to call in the evening in the evening

Tuesday [5th March]
Fort. Office, very busy morning, a lot of people in court. It is pathetic to see the crowds of men every
morning both at the Fort & at my office waiting on the chance of getting a job. There is a great deal of
unemployment at present. Loch returned in the afternoon by air & the Shoreham came in. Played tennis
at the Mission. After dinner I went out to Hajar with a section of Police & had a look round but we found
nothing much. Greatly enjoying the wireless which is a great boon.
