BAHRAIN,
7;VII:15.
aMuI Juobar Effendl arrived on tne Srd:. He com-
-pialned that he had been locXed In his cabin during the
whole time the ship was In each port, and that In conseet
-quence he was suffering from severe Internal troubles.
The first day Monanl said that he would not be fit to go
to Qatar frr some time.
I fe^bvlded him with ^rab dress and allowed him to go Into
the bazaar. Today he told me that he had met twc^e-
-serters from Qatar whom he knew, and that they had told
him that ShaKar Effendl was In command there.
He said that he had given evidence against Shaxar Efrendl
before a Court Martial which had sentenced him to nine
months 1 Imprisonment, that Shaxar Effendl was a very
violent man, and would certainly have him shot If he
tried to land.
Rather against my better Judgment I told him that I would
arrange for him to sail on the 6th:, but he said he would
throw himself overboard rather than be shot as a spy.
I am accordingly sending him bade to Basra.
On the whole I am relieved that he won't go. From the
first he struck me as a queer, exclteabie creature, and I
did not think that he was up to the Job. After watch-
-Ing him closely I have come to the conclusion that he is
more than exclteaole, In fact quite hysterical.
Monanl, who has been attending him, thinks that, tro use
his own words, he Is f untrustworthy and light-headed'
and a terrible liar In a petty way. He also says that
he has mada his disease worse on purpose.
