unfortunate persons will not be realised and that
they will be allowed to return to their homes.
On the frontiers, a reported threat of
Zeidi intrusion into the Beihan region has not matured.
Several minor episodes between Yemeni tribesmen
and Ahl Shaib, Audhali, Musabein and Haushabi have
caused anxiety. In one or two instances the co-
operation of local Yemen officials to prevent the
spread of disorders was invited with satisfactory
results.
In the protectorate we have to lament the
deaths of two notable chiefs, Sultan MANSUR Bin
G-HALI3 of the &athiri who died whilst on pilgrimage
to the Holy Land, and, more recently, of Sultan
L1UNA3SAR Bin ALI of the Lower Aulaci tribe: also of
3haikh YASLAM 3AHUWEIS, an officer of His Maj esty 1 s
forces at Aden; and of Amir SALEH SA*D of BAR AL Amir,
a trusted lieutenant of the Sultan of Lahej.
For one reason or another I have found it
impossible personally to visit as many parts of the
Protectorate as 1 should have liked to, but during
the period, I made' journeys by sea to Socotra and
Luka11a and also had the pleasure of making an
extensive tour of parts of the Fadhli territory and
to the residence of Sultan Aidrus at A1 Qara.
Officers of the Air Force have made many flights over
the Protectorate and have taken photographs which
have enabled us to correct our maps and added to our
knowledge of the geographical features of the country,
especially of the Hadhramaut and Upper Yafa regions.
Efforts have been made to establish new landing
grounds
