Friday 1st November

At Jidda, lovely day & the sea a marvelous colour. Spent some time in the jail & wrote letters & after lunch *—
tried to do a sketch of one of the Police, a very black one & a difficult subject. Went to Om an Sabaan on the
way back & from there to Budeya by sailing boat which was a slow affair as only two men & wind & tide
against us. Dick Snow came in before dinner & afterwards we worked out the programme for the races.

Saturday 2nd November

H didnt come, I spent some time at the customs & worked in office. Leigh came in & Tunnicliffe &
Cochrane as usual.

Annual Reports arrived just about a year late but fault of delay in India.
