Cocktail party at the Ranees, Hay was there having returned in the morning, a great crowd of people &
several rather drunk. I dislike cocktail parties. It went on very late. Mrs Grant the Bank manager's wife
most effusive. Reid of Holloway arriving next week & to stay with them.

Friday 15th November

Went to Jidda for the day, via Budeya. A lovely day, quite a stiff breeze. Had a come some way by sailboat
on returning owing to low tide. The building progressing slowly but got a great deal done while I was there.
Did a sketch, not finished, of one of the Police sergeants, quite a resemblance though 1 am not good at getting
a likeness.
