immediately accept and give up the lionour of their Persian
nationality. Verily British agents in Bahrein are trying
as much as possible to force Persians to give up their
nationality and are preparing the ground for depriving
Persia of its rights over Bahrein, hut the Persians are
alive to this plan and are watching events with open eyes
for they know Bahrein and the Bahrein Islands to be Persian
and will hold out in the face of coveteousness and threats;

that after the dismissal of Sheikh Issa bin Ali al
Khalifeh there was nobody and there was no trace of any
Government. Why? Only rarely is the seal of Sheikh
Hamad bin Issa al Khalifeh, the deputy Governor of Bahrein,

he actually, nobody will be able to answer you because
this Governor is a marionette whom nobody recognises
officially.
Colonel Biscuit visited and inspected the Government

run by the Sheikhs and seize hold of this pretext as an
answer to Persia, what name can you give, pray, to such a
situation? What is the meaning of interfering in the
affairs of Bahrein? Yes, Colonel Biscuit came to
Bahrein with new orders and arranged affairs in accordance
with the instructions he had received#
Colonel Biscuit, the British Consul General
