ADMINISTRATION REPORT OF THE
PERSIAN GULF
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
lio
Saad-bin-Mazi Al-Mutawatah, a petty Shaikh and head of some Anizah
tribesmen allied to Shaikh Mubarak, with his brother, Akil, raided the Ajman
and Shammar tribes in July inflicting some loss m men and cattle.
The Thaffir Tn^.—Thaffiris about 60 in number looted the Jiblan section
of the Umtair tribe in the Subhan between As-Safa and El-Hafar in the
second week of March.
Raids and counter-raids do not appear to have been so rife this year
as formerly. From this it can be in-
Tribai Polltlcs ' ferred that relations between the tribes
have improved to some extent and the few raids noted below can only be
taken as spasmodic ones. The growing strength of " Bin Sand," his alliance
with Ibn Rashid, and the friendly terms existing between these two powers
and Shaikh Mubarak probably account for the improvement.
News reached Kuwait in the second week of April that Saud bin Lami,
an outlaw Shaikh of the Jiblan Umtair, with a party of Anizah Bedouin!
raided the Kuwait Rashaisah Bedouin and had taken from them some 600 to
900 camels. Bin Lami after the raid was said to have gone to Shaikh Sa'adun
at Khomisia. Shortly afterwards the Thaffir Bedouin raided and looted the
tents of the womenfolk left in his camp by Saud bin Lami but let the women
have mounts to go and re-join Bin Lami.
In July news was received that Faisal-ud-Dawish, Shaikh of the Umtair,
had attacked the Ajman at the wells near al-Muteira and defeated them
inflicting some loss in men.
Some of the Umtair tribe of the Dawish and Al-Fugan sections success
fully raided a small party of the Thaffir in the vicinity of Chabaidah to the
west of Safwan in August 1011.
Ajman Tribe. —About the beginning of July it was reported that whSet
" Bin Saud " was returning to Riadh he was met on the road between Eiadh
and Hasa by a large force of the Arjha section of the Ajman tribe. A figfet
ensued resulting in several casualties on both sides.
In July the Ajman Bedouin also raided the Rashaidah, Tawatah and
some of the Umtair sections at Al-Haisheri taking some sheep and camels.
The Umtair is and others, however, quietly combined afterwards and retali
ated successfully by looting a large number of sheep and goats with a few
camels.
In the same month news was received that the Ajman had again raided
the Tawatah, Rashaidah and Awazim sections of about 150 of their camels
at Haseilan, Atarez and Moraka between Anta'a and Kuwait but that the
latter eventually succeeded in re-taking the looted property. About a month
later Thaidan bin Hithlain, Shaikh of the Ajman, came to Kuwait and com
posed matters with Shaikh Mubarak in connection with this raid.
Al bu Ainain Tribe. —The settlement of this tribe at Kasr-as-Sabaih
may now be regarded as permanent and it is not improbable that their rela
tions with the Turkish officials in Katif and Hasa will lead to difficulties-
Rumours of the erection of a Turkish flagstaff were current, frequent visits
by soldiers from Katif were paid to the place and at the end of the year
reports of a Turkish military post being established at Kasr-as-Sabaih were
irequent. It is believed that the post has since actually come into being.
The position of the settlement at a point on the coast adjacent to sontf
of the best pearl-banks, and to which pearl-boats have frequent recourse ic
supplies and water, makes it undesirable that the Turkish authorities shorn 0
obtain a permanent footing there. Shaikh Mubarak moreover claims ju rl
diction over the territory.
Shaikh Sa'adun. —About the end of March news was received of severe
lighting between the Muntafick and the Thaffir at a place called El Hanip
m which Shaikh Sa'adun's sons, Ajami and Thamir, were dangerou _
wounded and his nephew Najam killed. Previously a solution of the cli
ences between the Thaffir and Shaikh Sa'adun had been arranged throug
Kashid, but, on the latter leaving for Hail, Sa'adun attempted to be
