I
The conversation at the visit of
8 .
Sheikh Khazal and Sheikh Liobarok to the -t^ericy
on the 13th turned on the affairs of Nasir
bin Mobarak and I asked them if it was not possible
for i hem to persuade Shaikh Isa to put an end
to the scandal of his coutins practically begging
from door to door.They.replied that while the^
regretted his behaviour, Shei} h Mobarak indeed
expressed himself very strongly^ on the subject,
thej saw no w y of intervening effectively as,
if Rheikh Isa did not listen to them,they never,
for a moment, expected that he would,they would
according to Arab ideas of honour havs no option
but to enforce his compliance with the Sv.ord, a
course of action which was impracticable in every
way 7 .At the same time, Rheijdi Kobarak warned me
that Nasir bin 1'obarak Iiad asked him 'Lo tell me
that he had wandered from Consul to Consul getting
no satisfaction from them,that the affairs of the
Xl Abdulla were in a desperate state, that he
would wait a oounle of months to see if any thing
came of his present written application which I
have the honour to enclose herewith, and then make
a desp/erate attempt to recover what he considers
his o.m ty force or lie.I replied that then of
course he would die and Sheikh Khazal who appears
to nave a more correct notion of relative strengths
than Sheikh Mobarak,echoed my words.
9 # Sheikn liobarak than abruptly changed
the conversation and, as I considered that I had
already rather overstepped the limits of friendly
a ivice in a matter that had little or no concern
with my office,! made no effort to return to the
subject.
