Hick had Wellington for the night in for China Dion .
Tuesday 27th February
Drove to Fort early, HH came & we went up to the Palace for HH photograph Deane & Holdstock & two
other men were there & a great array of cameras & lights, HH seemed quite to like it & was photographed
sitting & standing for a long time. I had a try too. Returned to office & saw various people. Stoker came in
before on his way to Jufair, going up by ship en route for home. HH gave him a photograph & a set of
clothes, & Stoker seemed very gratified. Extremely sorry that he is going away, he has helped us more than
anyone else & unlike the Agency - effectively.
Drove out to see the school boys in camp, at Safra, rather a dud affair, they looked bored, had heard that a lot__
of persuason was needed to get the boys & masters to go to camp. The Wakelins were there in a tent witl----
Ayuh and her children, rather merry.
Ham came in, also Campbell, Ham stayed on to discuss & told us all about his case, divorcing his wife, i
Calcutta. He seemed very relieved to have got rid of her, the whole family, parents of 9 children, were i
this way.
