Had people to dinner, Grants & Reid & the TTs, rather sticky at dinner, Storey Wilson is very deaf & Reid
had toothache but after dinner we sang & the padre played the piano & we had quite a good evening.

Early service, about a dozen people came which is a good number for the size of the place. Busy morning in
the office & rather late getting there, having people to stay seems to take up a lot of ones time. Had a
3 meeting of nakhudas to discuss the question of using modern diving methods, the PR wrote about it

apparently approving, though, I fancy, knowing little about the subject. They were very excited and violently
il opposed to the idea. Daij attended the meeting. Went to see Smith for a few minutes. M went out to tea
with a married school teacher, we had dinner with the TTs & then a service at the Awali church, quite well

,1 done & a few people came, usually it is almost empty. Went back to their house after dinner - it was
frightfully hot & stuffy & worked late in the office. Wilson, the padre, is very good company, most
entertaining.
