I discussed the situation fully at Sib with the Sultan ,
with v/hora]^ I had three interviews. Up to the present he remains
confident that he v /ill be able to quell the rising hirnaelf, and
at my first interviev/ he gave me a promise that Saiyid Nadir
at Samail would be relieved by Taimur within eight days.-
%
Thaa proved correct to the extent that a messenger brought
news to the Sultan on the morning of the 23rd that about
400 men under Saiyid Hamad had arrived^ at a village called
Boa (?) , a couple of hours from Bidbid, and that a larger
force consisting of $ Nairn and Jaalan men under Saiyid Taimur
was ready to follow him. I pointed out to His Higimess as
strongly as I dared that it was not fair to Government for
him to run such a serious disk with adherents who had shown
that they were disaffected aAd not willing to fight so
often and so lately. I conveyed a warning to him that , in
the event of the failure of this attempt , 4 Saiyid Nadir 1 s
relief would be impossible^and reminded him that it would be
a very different thing to recaptlire Samail than to relieve
it as he was quite well aware. The Sultan , $ I think ,
sees the force of these arguments perf ectly , but cannot get
away from what , I am only afraid , is overconfidence,and
it appears that the only remaining course is to watch events
and hope that they will justify the oUltan r s optimism. it
seems unlikely the situation will ievelope rapidly now in
any case , and , replying to a question of the S . jk . O ^ s , .1
have told him that in my opinion there is no need for the
n i elorus " to remain here, xhe two sloops and the itajputs are
i think , sufficient at present to defend ..asqat and Matrah,
and it does not sesm o-wy loit£or iiejoessary to h61d troop «i
