Jedda, to the Saudi Government and by the Resident to the Shaikh brought
about a moie hopeful state of affairs, and at the end of the year there was
a faint hope that this question might be solved. As in the case of smuggling
into Iraq it is not the Kuwaiti tribesmen who actaully do the smuggling
but those under the authority of the Saudi Government.
In May a party of 6 armed retainers of Ibn Jiluwi, Governor of Hasa,
entered Kuwait territory on business of the Saudi Government without pro
per credentials from the latter, which -resulted in a certain amount of
correspondence between His Majesty’s Government and the Saudi Govern
ment. The inicdent on the whole probably had a good effect since the next
party which came to Kuwait was properly accredited.
Bahrain. —In October the Saudi Government reported that about 400
destitute Indian pilgrims had been collected by the local authorities in Hasa,
and asked that arrangements should be made to transport them to Bahrain.
The Government of India, at the suggestion of the Resident, agreed that a
concentration camp should be arranged in Bahrain by the Political Agent A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.
in co-operation with the Bahrain Government, where the pilgrims would
be properly fed, looked after and given medical treatment. Arrangements
we made with the British India Steam Navigation Company by which the
fast Mail made a special call at Bahrain, and took away the bulk of the pil
grims to India. The remainder followed in batches by Slow Mail as oppor
tunity offered.
In March a Saudi delegation visited Bahrain to negotiate with the
Bahrain Government on the subject of the transit dues charged by the latter
on goods destined for Saudi Arabia. Under the auspices of the Political
Agent a satisfactory arrangement was come to on the various points con
cerned, the Agreement being officially signed by both parties, the Saudi
Government and His Majesty’s Government on behalf of the Bahrain Gov
ernment before the end of the year.
On the occasion of the King’s Birthday the honour of the K.C.I.E. was
conferred on the Shaikh of Bahrain.
