Fri 11. [11 April 1902] Went with my black Mr Scandarani on board the
Midnight Sun to breakfast with Cp. Johnson. They are carrying 200
odd Spanish pilgrims. Most of the boat is filled up as a chapel. 2
enormous crosses nailed to the masts. I came in late for my lesson.
After lunch rode along the sands towards Athlit ['Atlit]. Mr Rust and Mr
Khaddar turned up to dinner. Long discussion on faiths with Battaj.
