6, To revert now to the specific question of the Bainain.
Bain as Saghir is unquestionably outside the territorial
waters of Umm Hasan, I personally have no doubt about the
substantial accuracy of the Oil Company 1 s map to which you
-
refer in paragraph 2(i) of your letter, since their other
hydrographic work has been proved to be extremely accurate,
and their barge traffic between A1 Khobar and Zellaq depends
on this particular map. On the other hand Bain as Saghir
is not in the territorial waters of Ibn Saud. The pieces
of reef to which Shaikh Yusuf Yasin refers are largely imagi
nary (except close to the Saudi coast) and it is just as
impossible for the Saudis to take three mile jumps from Coast
to reef to Bain as Saghir as it is for Bahrain. It is quite
true, as Yusuf Yasin says, that there is a fairly deep water
channel between Umm ITasan and Bain as Saghir and this is the
normal course followed by country craft going to Cqair. But
there is also comparatively deep water on the mainland side
of Bain as Saghir which can be seen clearly from the air when
one flies over this area, as I have done myself, ihis oeing
the case it might well be held that Bahrain, by erecting their

marks on Bain as Saghir (and Bain al Kabir also) in the early
spring of 1938 have established their claim by the erection
of a "national" mark on each of them. I find also that in

letter No. 207 of the 4th April 1909 the then r y olibical Agent,
Bahrain, mentions that the Shaikh of Bahrain took in those

days a tax from all boats which collected turtle sne^ls on
Labainat Al Aliya and Labainat Al Safliya, as the r-ainain
were then known. But in view of the possible development
in shoal waters to which I have referred above it may suit
Bahrain better to compromise over the Bainain in order oo
avoid future difficulties to the north. I feel quite certain
