not nlaced much faith on the assurances given them by Sheikh Jasim-bm-Ihani
and his son Sheikh Abdurrahman, and that their decision to keep their place 18 to
the aS riven to them that they are too numerous and strong to be ejected from
Wakra bv Sheikh Jasim or his son, Abdurrahman, that they can successfully res
arms if any further attempt is made to molest them, and that they should not leave a
town which is entirely of their own making for the last several generations.
All the same, Sheikh Shahin says, the tribe do not feel themselves st J on S e “ 0 " g a |
