completely unsatisfactory. He said that although much of
the territory concerned could probably be written off as
valueless., some parts appeared to have definite interest
and they must see it all» Up to the present the Company f s
efforts to visit certain ,f interesting^ areas through the
medium of the Trucial Sheikhs had been unsuccessful and the
Company had formed the conclusion that it would probably be
best to leave the Trucial Sheikhs alone for the time being
and to try and operate through Muscat. Mr. Longrigg
mentioned in this connection that he had seen the Sultan
during the latter^ recent visit to London and had been told
that in addition to certain parts of Muscat territory5 the
Sultan might be able to arrange for a party to reach Baraimi
(which the Sultan claimed belonged to him) through Muscat.
Mr. Lonp:ri f g:ff said that this su g gesti o n seemed to offer greater
promise of getting something done and he enquired whether it
might not be possible for His Ma t iesty ! s Government to
co -operate with the Sultan , He wa s pro m ised th at the point
would be considered ,
5. Sir Trenchard Fowle mentioned that during his recent
conversation with Lord Cadman he had been asked to suggest
the name of a suitable person to act for Petroleum Concessions
Limited in connection with the forthcoming negotiations at
Bahrein and Koweit, Sir T. Fowle said that normally he
would hesitate to give advice^ but as the present
circumstances were somewhat peculiar he was prepared to do
so. The names which occurred to him were Messrs,Longrigg,
Lermitte and Packer and he said that so far as the local
Political authorities were concernedp all these gentlemen
would be acceptable. He also thought that they would be
acceptable to the Rulers concerned.
