News was received on 3rd August that Ishgair bin Muhammed of the
Ad-Dawish section of the Umtair tribe had raided the Tawatah section of the
Anizah tribe allied to Shaikh Mubarak at Safwan. The Tawatah people were
reported to have moved to Jahra and that Shaikh Mubarak contemplated

advantage of the absence of Turkish troops in Basrah and Baghdad, Ajaum
was threatening to descend upon Basrah with a large force to loot the pw
