Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Thursday, 6 November 1924
Thursday 6th to Mornet el-Kaid.
D.O. [Dorothy Olsen] bad night. Start 8.20.
Bir 11.15-50. All very dune-y: but not so individual. A vast sea of average waves. Arr[ive] 1.40 at Bordj: D[orothy]'s mule shied at a package, and nearly threw her. The men said it was 20 k.m. and this seems more like it than the 14 alleged.
The dunes were broken up a good deal for the first 2 hours or so; there is now quite a lot of scrub. The bordj is alone by the well and a landmark: it is very ornamental—and comfortable, a spring mattress for a bed, tables, chairs, cooking-place etc.
XI° [1] "Good health and spirits for D.O.".—Success.
1—Crowley performs a magical sexual operation.
