Went out again to Left Flank with General Hobbs, returning at 4.30 PM. Party came to Ismailia by launch. Rained heavily during journey. Dined at French Club, took train to TEL-EL-KEBIR, reaching the Station at 9.30 AM. Whole place under water. Men flooded out of tents. Mine is fortunately dry. Pile of papers received.
