Sheikh Hamad wired to the Eastern and General
Syndicate in London requesting that the deepening of
Well Ko. 1 should not "be delayed, as he had great-
expectations of fresh water "being discorered at a greater
depth than that already reached.

e-rerything. In the meanwhile the Engineers had commenced

carrying out this work. The boring plant should hare

outfit in the first place, an# but for extreme aallous-
ness on the part of the London Office, the spare parts
ordered would hare arrired in Bahrein much earlier.
