Garden Party given in honour of the latter, when the usual
laudatory speeches were delivered*
7. On the 19th December, the Adviser to the Bahrain Go
vernment gave a dinner party in honour of the Prince, at
which ladies were also present. This was followed by large
dinner parties on the two succeeding evenings at the Palace
and at the house of the Saudi an Agent in Bahrain, the days
being occupied with hawking and Arab dances.
8. On the last evening of the visit the Amir Saud and Kis
Highness the Shaikh accompanied by six of the former's and
three of the latter 1 s relatives dined (Arab fashion) at the
Agency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent.
. By this time the Saudian brothers and cousins, who
had been very silent at the beginning of the visit, had thaw
ed considerably and were quite animated. The Amir ^aud, who
throughout had been most friendly and charming, was almost
affectionate. He was certainly most outspoken, one of his
comments being that it was high time that England used her
increasing strength to give Italy a sharp lesson, as the
latter country appeared to be completely out of control. The
more peaceful suggestion that while one might forge a sword
one need not necessarily use it, was greeted with an unbelie
ving smile.
9. The Saudian party left for the mainland on Thursday
morning, the 23rd December. The visit has b een an unquali
fied success and every one is very pleased. So far as I can
discover its "privete'* nature has been carefully maintained,
and there have been no real political discussions. The fol
lowing items of reported conversation are, however, of interest
(1) The Amir Saud is reported to have said that he was
very pleasantly surprised to find that the A1 Khalifah Family
was not held down in a position of inferiority in Bahrain,
without prestige or pov/er, as he had so frequently heard from
other/-
