Thursday 12th April
Fort. Office, rather a stuffy gray day, clouds low & a few drops of rain. Unpleasant weather. Saw
various people, Sh Khalifah about getting a boat hull to turn into a launch, Sh Nerahain re rations &
sundry others. Went to the court to finish off a case which was left over last week, theft of electric fans
from RAF store. Sent two men to jail for a year, local Arab clerks. In afternoon went to sleep, the
weather makes one very drowsy, then left cards on the Persian bank people - who appeared to be out &
then went to call on the SNO at Jufair, stayed a long time, found him much pleasanter alone than when in
company, a pleasant brigadier came to call with another soldier. A circular about passages from Egypt
being held up.
Friday 13th April
