22nd November. —Went to office of Bin Saud. Dr. 4 Abdullah came to
see me. In afternoon w r ent for ride with Bin Saud and his family ,to
Shamisiyah; returned at sundown. At 8 p.m . again went for 1 hour's chat
with Bin Saud. He explained that his trouble with Ihn Subah (Kuwait) was
not really connected with the question of taxation of the Awazim, for, though
he did claim the latter as his subjects really, he was content to leave them to
Ibn Subah ; the quarrel was really about the'Ajman. After their going off,
contrary to their agreement, and joining with the Shammar to oppose him la^t
winter and spring lie could not remain on any sort of terms with them. It was
unfriendly of Ibn Subah to harbour them now. He would not hear of any
further pardon. It was useless, as we knew, because their Shaikhs- were
unrepentant. Dhaidan especially was a Turk of the Turks. Either they
must surrender some of their chief Shaikhs and go off to help the Ataibah
and Harb in Qasim or they should be told to go off to the 'Anaizah country and
help Ibn Hadhdhal. Long discussion on world-politics followed before the
last drink of lehan of camel s milk was brought—Bin Sdud s s signal for bed.
24th November. —Rode in morning to Manfuhah. Some photography. Ibn
Thanaiyah came to discuss politics. Rode in morning with Fahad, Amar, and
Muhammad ; after breakfast went to coffee with the men in their tuo houses in
town ; looked for curios in Suq. Rode in the S. and \V . of the town with Il>n
Rabayi; discussed the 'A jman. Long conversation with the Amir chiefly regard
ing tne ' Ajman and Ahl-Murrah. Says the 'Ajman out against him could not
possibly muster more than 1,500 men. The Ahl-Murrah are now v»ell armed.
26th November. —Still no news of Philby and Cunliffe-Chien.
Attended mejhs this morning ; religious discussion, ihe Amir again held forth
on heresies and infidelity of Turks. There seems to be a general assent to these
sentiments. In afternoon rode out to the nortb to the rock archway on hill
called Al-Kharuq > ^ith Ibrahim and Khudhayar.,
