Bahrain ; by Musa/ad-bin-Suwailim, an emissary of Ibn-Sa'ud who
arrived from Qatar and suggested that; in case the Amir should succeed
in driving the Turks out of Hasa, a treaty should be arranged between
him and the British Government whereby the latter should undertake
to protect the Amir against subsequent attacks by the Turks from the
sea, while they in return should be allowed to maintain a political offiwr
in the oasis of Hasa or of Qatif. Captain Prideaux gave no encourage
ment to these suggestions ; and the emissary at once left for Bushehr,
where he avoided visiting the British

and instead despatched
along telegram from Jasim, the A1 Thani Shaikh in Qatar, to the
Sultan of Turkey, recommending Ibn-Sa'ud to the favour of His
Ottoman Majesty. The next advance was made by Ibn-Sa ; ud through
Shaikh Jasim, who, at an interview in Qatar between himself and
Major Cox, the British Resident, made proposals similar to those
brought forward by Musa/ad in Bahrain, and suggested that the Amir
should have a meeting with a British officer at some place upon the
Arabian coast. In August 1906 Shaikh Mubarak of Kuwait endea
voured to convince the

there, Captain Knox, of the
desirability of Ibn-Sa'ud being taken under British protection, especially
in the interests of British trade. In October an urgent request for a
personal interview was received from Shaikh Jasim by Captain Prideaux
in Bahrain ; and that officpr, being unable to go to Qatar himself, sent his
interpreter, Mr. In'am-ul-Haqq. The explanation of the Shaikh's letter
was that he had received a further communication from 'Abdul 'Aziz,
who feared that his case had not been pressed with sufficient warmth
by the Shaikh of Kuwait, and who now sought an interview with
Captain Prideaux at a rendezvous in the desert, either in person or
through a brother; and it appeared that 'Abdul 'Aziz, being determined
to recover Hasa, the most valuable portion financially of the former
Wahhabi dominions, was anxious to be assured of British protection by
sea in event of his being successful; also that lie would in return bind
himself by agreements to the British Government, probably resembling
those of the Shaikhs of Trucial 'Oman, and would agree to the residence
of a British political officer at his court. These proposals were at once
reported by Captain Prideaux to higher authority. In November the
-subject was revived by the Shaikh of Kuwait. It will be observed that
the advances of Ibn-Sa'ud in 1906 were made before the withdrawal
of the Turks from Qasim, and that they were most urgent after the
arrival there of Sami
Pasha
