( i) I have re-measured the distance between this
island and unm ha* san, and it would appear that
it is somewhat more than 4 miles, i.e. that the
Saudi contention is correct in this respect. Is
there any way of checking the correctness of the
California Arabian standard Oil company*s map
(i*e. the one referred to in paragraph 3 of your
FJxpress Letter jso.C/ 679-1.a/29, dated the 5th
November 1938) ? The distance should be taken
from low water mark. K ./j' It .
(ii) If Bain as Saghir is more than 3 miles from umm
Na*san then the Bahrain claim would presumably
have to rest on the erection of the mark on it
referred to in paragraph 2 of your impress letter
quoted above. When was this mark placed v
3. Both islands Bain as Saghir and Bain al Khabir. can
you check the Saudi statement that the channel runs uiast of

4. Bain al Khabir. When was the mark erected by the
Bahrain Government on this island ?
