afternoon • i; e observed, in the course of oonveraation,
that it was now deaitely settled by the jhai h that
the "other company" will not be granted the oil conces
sion tor which they had aslced , and that the shaiJch
had stated ,j his friends that he would seriously consi
der tne draft agreement submitted by the a 'Arcy <30.
Hamad observed,howerer, that it was necessary for us
to treat the jhaikh with all possible patience -jnd
care, for »he was like a wild bird, which could not be
tamed at once «. The shaikh oonaidered, according to
Hamad , that 30 ie of the conditions put forward by the
D'Arcy co were too onerous on him . but he was generally
inclined to favour that company and appeared to have
resolved to reject theoffer made by the Eastern Generi
Syndicate . Hamad supposed that the beat tine to deal
with Shaikh Ahmad and to induce him,effectually, to
sign the agreement with the DUroy Uo was when the
Shaikh -visited MOhaaunareh and that the assistance
of shaikh Khasaal may be enlisted for thepurpose of
conrincing shaikh /dim ad that it would be to his interest
if he concluded the agreement we had proposed to him .
Hamad referred to the .haikh'3 ill-feelings against
S-rick soott aid co, -and 1 explained to him that that
firm was no longer the Managing Agents of the P. O.c.,
and that the

An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent.
