to take this step. He sent about 20 men, with their
tents and families and a number of camels, sheep and
donkeys. From very soon after their arrival in Qatar
they sent back complaints that officials of the Shaikh
of Qatar were troubling and interfering with them.
Finally a messenger from these people.who got back
with some difficulty to Bahrain, reported that they
were being prevented from returning to Bahrain. On
my suggestion His Highness Shaikh Sulman sent for four
of the men who were brought to Bahrain yesterday by
launch in order that their statements could be recorded.
I have seen the men myself and I enclose a copy of their
statements which were taken down by me. It appears to

Shaikh Abdulla moved these Arabs from the Zubara area
in order that they should camp in a place where the
Agreement regarding Zubara would not be enforced.
His Highness has asked me to request you to write
to the Shaikh of ^atar asking him to desist from inter

to which people from Bahrain are free to go to Zubara
as they used to do before the dispute.
