At 1 p.m. passed Gebel Ouli, a small hill on south bank course S.W. 1/2 S. At 8.30 p.m. reached Cetene, a village of mixed Arabs on the east bank anchored. 21st Dec. All day busy clearing decks, caulking ship, and making room for the camels on the noggurs, as this is the village to which I had previously sent two men to select camels and to have them in readiness for my arrival.
Upon reaching the palace, where they were to dismount, the English were met by Ouli Mahommed Khan and other eminent officers, who walked before us towards a covered platform, at the extremity of which the emirs were seated. This platform being covered with the richest Persian carpet, we took off our shoes.
