Office all the morning, had Leigh as usual about his Jufair water filtration plant and other matters, Ibrahim
Khalfan about town roads & Mahsen al Jajar who gave me a note on Bahrain history from his brother. A bad
fire at Naim & 2 children burned in the barastis.
Drove to Muharraq after tea. Lovely day & a strong shamaal, quite cool.
Monday 15th July
Fort
Court. More liquor cases, 2 hauls got 1 bot brandy 1 gin & 5 beer, a Bapco man, an Indian & some locals all
involved. Went to see Smith after court. Cool day, strong breeze. Went to Muharraq after tea and began a
picture of the shore and a boat, a nice subject but rather difficult.
Leigh is going on leave.
