Article 14 reads
"His Britannic Majesty's Government give an
undertaking to the Imperial Ottoman Government
that they will guard against the Shaikh or
Bahrain levying from Ottoman subjects dues on
pearl gishing at a higher rate than that imposed
on other interested and most favoured parties. w
The Convention was never ratified hut it is evi
dent that at that time His Majesty^ Government re
garded the islands as belonging to Bahrain, Since
then there has been no use of the islands or occu
pation of the islands by any Government other than
the Bahrain Government.
9. His Highness believes that the action of the
Saudi Arabian Government in erecting structures on
the Baina islands was done with the intention of gain
ing as much ground as possible in order to be in a
more favourable position when the time comes to settle
both boundary questions and the question of the North
Jarim area. If such action is allowed to pass the
domains of His Highness the Shaikh of Bahrain will
gradually become engulfed by neighbouring states. The
matter is one of very great importance as far as the
future of Bahrain is concerned. His Highness has at
present nobody to rely upon except His Majesty^ Govern
ment for the protection of his rights and his domains
and he therefore requests His Majesty^ Government
to protect his rights.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
^ Your obedient servant.
Adviser to the Government.
