in the Persian ^ulf.
I beg to refer to what I previuosly wrote to ^our Honour
regarding the attitude of my insubordinate subjects and what was
created by them from troubles and evil deeds and that was by the
instigation of whoever encouraged them to persistence and
disobedience by sending to them continuous supplies such as
provisions, money, arras and ainmnition as I referred to it
before and explained it to ^our Honour. What deceived my
subjects all this time was my silence and not taking necessary
measures against them, ifiey considered this my silence a
relaxation and contempt on part so they increased their
arrogance and aversion in all their actions. 1 tolerated
all this period a thing which was incorrect for one like me
to do so, thinking perhaps the matter will be settled in a
satisfactory maimer. When the case was at end and no result
was achieved, the only possibility left was to put right the
question before it becomes serious. I hastened to take the
\
actions necessary in such circumstances in order to put an end
to what the rioters created of disturbances and troubles in
any wgy 1 saw essential in the present state of affairs.
When my said subjects felt my real determination in this
matter they repented what they did and when 1 reached near them
they came to me listners, obedient, submitting to my orders
contenf|bible, yielding and surrendering themselves praying
pardon and mercy for the offences committed by them towards me
and the country. 1 could not do anything in this state, but
bo accept their repentance and excuse, forgave them and
pardoned their wrong deeds for which they were liable to
punishment. i3ut I preferred forgiveness to punishment when
they resigned to me obediently admitting their guilt and mistake.

About this item
- Content
This file contains correspondence regarding the situation after hostilities that occurred between the Al Naim tribe (supported by Bahrain) and Qatar in Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. in June and July 1937.
The correspondence covers the period immediately following the events and continues for several years until 1946. It contains details of British mediation efforts between the two sides and also includes the text (in English and Arabic) of a reconciliation agreement between the two sides from 1944.
The file also contains a translation of an Arabic-language letter published in the Cairo publication 'Rabitat Al Arabieh' (f. 25). The letter is from a Bahraini and argues that the British had sided with Qatar in the conflict regarding Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. as they were afraid that if under Bahraini control, the concession for oil deposits near the town would be given to an American (as opposed to British) oil company as had been done in Bahrain.
