About this record
- Content
Chitty reports of his meeting with Sheikh Mubarak bin Ahmad on Qais [Qeys] Island, who informs Chitty that he has taken possession of El Biddah [al Bidda], and has resettled his people there from Qeys. Mubarak claimed that the ryots [Indian peasants] of Bahrain had risen in favour of him, but that he had no intentions of attacking Bahrain. Chitty concludes that if Mubarak had plans for an expedition to Bahrain, it would begin from al Bidda.
