quarrel bat Qosaibi was most unreasonable and insfted on such
humiliating terms that itnwas impossible for A. H. to agree.He
further insisted that in any case A.H. must proceed to Hassa to
/
propitiate Bin Jiluwi who was very angry with him # as he had insulted]
the Saltan's representative. I pointed oat fc&fct the quarrel vas a
personal one, and took place he re,and that it was scarcely conceivable
that Bin Jiluwi should have a personal bias against either party un-
mis-
less the affair had been represented to him,and in any case would
surely be satisfied if both parties wrote that they had made peace.
Qosaibi would in no way agree^and as it was throughout obvious that
his one desire was to get AoH. to Hassa where he could ill treat him
I thought it better to be clear ofttthe matter, and ^dropped it« I
/wrote to Bin Jiluwi,that inasmuch as the affftrrto&k place here,and
the parties had not officially approached me,but had of their own
accord referred to him,I did not care to interfere in any way.In all
other matters I was always pleased to assist as he had had ample
proof in the past. It was further difficult for me to take part
against one party only when I knew both to be at fault.
. After this Qosaibi got frightened,and ran about accusing everybody
including myself of not having striven whole heartedly for peace.
The only obstacle to peace was himself. By this time nobody would
SB
assist him and he was too proud to climb down by himself.
Meanwhile A.Hawas wentia off of his own accord to Hassa to place his
case before Bin Jiluwi ♦Qosaibi heMd of this and sent a boat after
him.They caught him at Ojair ,publicly beat him and started him off
to Hassa with a rope around his neck.This before any inquiry, and
obviously at Qosaibls instigation. Everybody is very annoyed with
Qosaibi,but as is customary no-one has the mor* 1 courage to say so,
to his face^ so that he will probably assume that public opinion is
with him and be the more difficult to deal with in future.
During conversation with him,he told me that I was BinSaud's T Naib T
in Bahrain where Hajdi's were concemed^I disabused him of this &
said I was under the orders of yourself only,and afforded British
protectionto Najdis in Bahrain ,since iiin Baud had requested this
assistance of ffovemment,which was ranjtaered quite f r aev ana
