cf this coin minted in Belgium. The Bahrain bazaar was
short of dollars but 7C,00C coins were brought in by mail
and were bought by the Saudi Arabian party, on which they
will make their 20% profit, as of course the Prince 1 s party
will be able to avoid the payment of duty in Hassa. They
are also taking with them 11 motor cars presented b^r His
Highness the Shaikh, some of them new and others rather
part-worn. Cash presents to servants and followers amounted
to at least Hs. 20,000/- and they have all been given new
outfits of clothes. The cost to His Highness the Shaikh
however has, I imagine, been well within Rs. one
lakh
One lakh is equal to one hundred thousand rupees
, and
so far as he personally is concerned he has enjoyed himself
enormously throughout the visit, though he was beginning to
look a little tired towards the end. The State will of course
pay the bill for entertainment at the Palace, but this should
not be a very great sum.
11• There has been a certain amount of comment in the
town on the extraordinary precautions which the Mir Saud
took for his protection at night. He moved from the room
prepared for him in the Palace to a smaller room on a high
er floor, and the arrangement of the furniture was changed
frequently. Every one is satisfied that such danger as was
apprehended came not from Bahrain but from his own entourage,
which included his cousin Shaikh Khalid bin Mohammad.
12. It may be interesting to report that the Amir Saud
received a telegram from his father three days after his
arrival tellnng him to return not later than December the
21st as there was a great deal of work for him to do at
home. The local expectation is that he is to be charged
with duties corresponding roughly with those of a Foreign
Minister./-
