2. There appears to have oaen a muddle of the names of the
various peraons reported on. As far as I can ascertain the naraes
Csptaie Dredge meant to corauunicate were r /ohaiaed and I^ahraud. These
were believed to be agents of "Lhaikh ajid Khalifeh H and M iukalkh
: ;OhaBied Arabi " of Aiaara. 1 am afraid we heve no further details
of the two agents, but there seems little doubt that the names of
the Shaikhs as ^iven above are the aame as those more correctly
given in your letter. I am unable to confirm, however, that the
men were definitely the agents of the Shaikhs concerned but the
information came from a usually reliable source.
3# / I should like also to qualify para 2 of Captain Jredge^
letter to tiie extent that though there may be no anti-iiritish
feeling on the part of the Arabs here there is little doubt that
many of them are very disapnointed at our evident policy to support
the Persian 'jovcrrnment and officials Just when they thought they
had done with Persians for g'ood, and this feeling may jrow stronger
- at leesTt, this is the impression I have formed in the short time
I have been here.
I am informed that iihaikh Jhasib, eldest son of the old
Uaaikh of ^ohami^ei'-ah, Khazal, has been down at Fao very recently
(about 2/4/42) and has b.en getting his a^ants to viait the Arabs
of Gusba and ^haiidgan on the Persian side in order to try to stir
up trouble between them and the Persian officials. He is giving
out that he nas some 2000 rifles and amiiunition at Kuwait with
which he can supply them If required. In his case aa you are aware
he is anxious to establish himself as the ruler of tnls district
and is trying to get all the Arabs to recognise wim. he lives in
asra and he was v amed only last year to desist from such activit
ies.
