Captain T. Hickinbotham, I.A.,
Political Agent, Bahrain
The Honourable the Political Resident
in the Persian Gulf, Bush ire
Sir,
I have the honour to refer to your telegram
No. BSi dated the 4th July 19S7 and to enclose a very
rough sketch map of the Zubarah peninsula, I have
underlined the points which I know to be claimed by
His Highness the Shaikh of Bahrain as being within his
area. The names of these places which are incorrectly
given on the sketch map are as follows j —
Al Thaghab
Fureiha
Ain Muhammad
Umm al Sheweel
Al Zubarah
Qala Umm Rear
Al Rabaija
Halwan
Lisha
Masuchhi
Al Maharaqa
2» I have asked the Adviser to the Bahrain Govern
ment if he can confirm that these are the only places
and he has stated that at such short notice he is unable
to do so, I think it advisable to point out here that
the Bahrain Government did make an application to us to
be given time to prepare their case before any adjudi
cation was made by His Majesty^s Government with regard
to the ownership of the Zubarah area,
3. I enclose aerial photographs of the wells and
