Sh Mohammed came to call and as usual started at once on whining complaints about his expenses in Egypt.
I forsee he will very soon come & ask for money. Saw various people & went up to the Fort to see about
some things for Jidda.
Went to Jidda after lunch taking the band & several others, office boys & some men of mounted section said
to be good at dancing. Very like a school treat on the launch as they played & sung all the time. After dinner
I explained my ideas & we did a bit of rehearsing. They got the idea at once & were very keen on it. Nice &
cool at Jidda a fairly strong breeze.
