look for the white sheet.
5. If it is a day 7 /ith a sandstorm, so that nothing can
be seen, it may be necessary to come on the next morning, the
5th March, but we shall not postpone the flight unless it is
absolutely necessary.
4. It is possible that you may be able to telegraph to
me from Abu Dhabi through the Geologists’ wireless; otherwise
please send a special messenger to Sharjah Radio by car to
inform me whether you have been able to make the necessary
arrangements and in particular whether the Shaikh’s
representative can reach Sufuk wells in time to be ready on
the early morning of the 4th March.
5. There is no objection to your going with the Shaikh’s
man if you find that it is desirable for you to do so.
Please state in your telegram whether you are going.
6. After the Shaikh’s man has seen the aeroplane circle
round the wells he can return to Abu Dhabi.
7. For your personal information there will be with me
a representative of the Foreign Office in London and
probably the Honourable the
Political Resident
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.
.
8. Please impress on Shaikh Shakhbut and Shaikh Khalifah
that it is very important from their point of view that we
should know exactly where Sufuk wells are in order that we
may be in a position to know whether we can support his
claim to them. Indeed, if he makes any difficulty, you can
emphasise that it will be very difficult for us to support
his claim with success unless we are in a position to say
that we know exactly where the wells are.
You should take your code book with you so that you
can use it either for messages through the Geologists’
-wireless or if you send back messages to be sent through the
Sharjah wireless.
