It has been necessary for one thing to adopt Fuad’s data,
e.g., he shows the lower arm of his 3 as running east from
the sea but he placed Wa’lan on it, whereas Wa’lan is shown
in Sheet 3 of the 1/253440 map very much further north.
The map indeed puts it still further north than the dotted
line in the sketch, but if full account had been taken
of this the sketch would have become quite impossible.
We enclose a portion of another document, which has
gained in interest since we contented ourselves with
a general account of it in our aespatch No. 186 of June
18 last. This is an extract from the article on ’Asir
in the ’’Umm-al-Qura” of June 9, 1933.
You will observe that the ”Umm-al-Q,ura” article
does not mention the Beni Malik. The explanation almost
certainly is that they and their mountain are just across
the boundary between the Tihama province and ’Asir Surat,
the distinction between which the Saudi Government were very
keen to emphasise at that time.
The Aden telegram to which you refer is doubtless
one which reached us in so corrupt a form on January 31
that we could not decypher the name of the attacking
tribe. If it was Benghazi, they are doubtless identical
with the Bil Ghazi, who have been mentioned on various
occasions, e.g., in the enclosed extract and the communique
enclosed in our despatch No. 71 of March 3, 1933.
The one thing clear is that all these tribes, who
lie on a sort of crescent over against Sa’ada, are
exceedingly marginal and have no loyalty to Ibn Saud.
They have probably very little love of the Imam either
but they seem to cling to the Idrisi. Some or all of
them took part in the 1932 rebellion. It was in the
Faifa/
