Fort. Saw the Police who came back from Karachi after traffic course, they looked very smart. Busy
morning, a lot of people came in, Hutchings, Leigh & Wakelin, H about Tech school, Leigh as usual, W
about a complaint that Sh Amadi about taking money from boys at school for various subscriptions.

Rode with Ham at Muharraq, the ponies got scared crossing the causeway & for awhile we couldnt mount
them.

Party at the Godfreys, supper & not a very good supper, then to the Fort "formal" dance at the club that has
been held for 3 years. Crowds of people there & all very orderly but in the middle a sandstorm came up &
put an end to dancing & all went back to Godfreys where we hung about for some time & then got away.
Took Ham with me in the car.

Friday 4th May

Went over to Jidda after breakfast, sailed from Budega. Nice day, got well browned. They seem very slow
over the building, only got the pillar partly done. Had a lazy day & came back in the evening in time for
dinner. Didnt go over the jail.
