Arrived at Aden c. 4.15 a.m. Quite dark. Delightful cool breeze. Ship coaling. Lt. Com. Baillie Grohman left us to join H.M. sloop "Crocus" on the Persian Gulf station, quite a loss to the passenger list. Johnson (Trinity, Cambridge) also left to tranship for Abyssinia for duty at Addis Ababa. Did not go ashore. Aden seems well supplied with motor-cars, but camels still numerous for transport. Kites very numerous in the harbour, picking up flotsam in their feet and eating on the wing. Masked gulls plentiful. We left Aden at 9.15 a.m. Cool breeze from S. or S.W. Saw some bonito. A very fine Hoopoe flew on board when we were well out of sight of land of the Hadramaut coast & remained for some hours. ( |

At noon - 12o50', 45o38'E.; 43 run. Very sultry afternoon & evening. Was much off-colour, from some slight poisoning, and did not dine. |
