PEESIAN GULF ADMINISTRATION KEPORT
Finally, with tho co-operation of Shaikh Jabir of Kuwait and the diplo.
matic skill of the Shaikh of Mohammerah, who was throughout of the highest
service to the Chief Political Officer, the delicate problem raised by the presence
of the Ajman among the friendly tribes reached a satisfactory solution. For
the period of the war a truce between Cbn Saud and the Ajman was agreed
upon and instructions were drafted defining the position of the fugitive Shaikhs
with respect to all tribes under our pro-
Arab Bureau, herewith enclosed. tection. On his return to Basrah, Sir
Percy Cox called in the Ajman leaders. They had been profoundly disquieted
by the advent of Ibn Saud thinking that it augured ill for themselves, but the
principal and more courageous headmen met the Chief Political Officer at Zubair
and accepted the proposed terms, in return for which they were promised a
monthly allowance similar to that received by the other friendly Shaikhs of the
Shamiyah. They evinced little doubt that the remaining headmen of the
Ajman, including the two who were still w 7 ith Ajaimi, would come in as soon as
they heard of the happy issue of their own venture.
Letters have been written to Pahad Beg ibn Hadhdhal informing him of
the Kuwait meeting and inviting him to join the league of Arab Chiefs in
expelling the Turks. These have been sent through a man from Pahad Beg's
tents who was in Basrah at the time of Ibn Saud's visit and went to see him
at Mohammerah, where he received advice and instruction from Shaikh Khazal
in full measure. He was entrusted also with letters from the Sharif which
have been waiting opportunity of despatch to Pahad Beg, Hachim al Muhaid
Ali Sulaiman of the Dulaim and others, and with presents in money to guide
Pahad Beg's decision and to encourage the amicable disposition of the Shaikh
of the Dahomshah, Jaza ibn Mijlad. Communications of the same nature are
on their way to Atiyah al Qulal of Najaf and Muhammad ali Kamunah of
Karbala.
