In continuation of my Special Saudi Arabia No.2
dated the 27th January 1934.
2. It is reported from Riath (various sources mostly
Bedouins, and so not very reliable), that Bin Saud managed to
persuade the Imam Yahya that the action of Sa f aiyid bin Eaisal
was against his orders entirely, and after expressing deepest
regrets was able to restore the situation once again.
3. Negotiations are once more reported to be in progress
between the two rulers, but a peaceful settlement has not
been arrived at. This is confirmed by Abdulla al Nafisi, Bin
Baud’s Trade Agent in Kuwait,
4. The Kuwait camel "Ha,j" (trans-desert) of some 250
persons has not yet started, as the many conflicting rumours
from Riath, is making the prospective pilgrims nervous.
5. The family of Ibn Muammar (Bin Baud’s Minister in
Baghdad) left Kuwait for Riath and Mecca by car on 9th February.
The party consisted of the Minister’s wife and two daughters
who reside in Kuwait, and the Minister’s son who recently re
turned from a visit to his father.
6. In reply to a telegraphic queiy from/Zubair notables
to Bin Saud, as to whether they could go to the Haj in cars via
Kuwait and Riath, the King replied and told them to refer to his
Minister of Finance, Ibn Sulaiman, who would tell them of the
fees that had to be paid.
