Saturday 21st April

T.Ts

Fort, Shs came in, Sh A first with a long complaint about Rashid, his son, who got drunk & beat a
butcher. He asked that he should be sent to Hawar, HH agreed. Went up to the Fort to deal with some
men, several bad VD cases, there is a lot of it among the Police - & everywhere else. Sh Kh said the
Rashid affair had more about it than met the eye, father & son after the same woman in fact.

Took Ahmed to Awali where I dined with TTs, first we drove down to the company garden which is not
much of a show. Rather a tiresome party, TTs seemed a bit sour, I think partly because I said Ward A
was having a dinner party.

Sunday 22nd April

Office all the morning, busy polishing off a lot of arrears. Radstrom brought in a man to talk about
smuggling & stealing on the mainland.

Sh Rashid's wife came to see me, a very fair rather bold but quite intelligent girl. not so young as she had
6 children.
