Dhofar• At the end of this period you should have returned in
the Al Saidi which took the /all of Dhofar, v.ho had been on
leave, baexe to his ^ost and ».as to bring you back to yours*
Instead of returning by the Al Saidi you sent a letter oack by
her Captain asking the Council for leave without pay Irorn Ist~
31st December* Owing to the distance of ^hofar irom Muscat no
reply couJLd be sent by the Council, mo^e especially as oixe
Al Saidi brought back news that you had gone into the Iluua-al-
Khali* You therefore tooi<; leave without octaiiiiiig the pj.ior
consent of the Council, and arso ins ueao. oi xe u^^rjiiig to i ^o^at
