Arrived Aden about 10.45am. Rocky, the colour of used plasticine, a few trees in evidence. New jetties, one with 4 submarines alongside. Lots of hawks circling around.
Mrs E. Barron disembarked as result of a cable from her husband who is stationed not far off.. what a thrill! The Governor's wife is aboard sitting in the lounge.
Local paper has news of 'longer queues, shorter rations' at Home.
Edward Frith (a school friend at the Garrison School, Hong Kong in 1928/9) came aboard to see his sister Iris Prew who was in Stanley.
Played bridge with Tony Sanh and Mr and Mrs Rosselet.
