After Conpllmente,
I beg to Inforn you regarding the real news of the Uutuir and
Ibn Subah. j
Firstly regarding Waryah (Oaralyat or Jarlyah). This place ir
the "dlrah" and oawplng ground of the Dushan, (family of ai. :1, al
Dawaish) *nd the Mutalr from old times, and now It is Inhabited by
part of the Mutair who formerly used to Inhabit Al-Hatawifan but
who left because of some local lll-f*ellng among them. When Bin Baud
entered Hasa recently the Mutair came and asked him to give tnem
"Qaryah", this he did: The place Is not within the borders of Bln
Subah, whose boundaries are known to gtart from Al-Sutalhlyah or
even further northwards. After the Mutair encamped (under ibn im lair,
at ftaryah. Bin Subah sent them a party on camels; but without
letters. This party said to Ibn Shaqair the headman,"leave at once ^
or we will attack you." Ibn Shaqair replied that Bln Subah was not Ml
his Chief but that Bin Saud was, and that he would refer the matter
to hi« for order®.
Bln Subah, on hearing this reply from the leader of hie party
was furious and declared war against the whole tribe of Mutair,and f
definitely sent them a meesage as follows: "You Mutair are rr.y eneiriei
He then Issued a prohibition against the export of any grains or «txi
other commodities to Bin Baud's people, as you have already heard.
Bln subah next sent for his men and cousin DalJ and told them to
take action against the Mutair and march on to the people of ftaryah.
DalJ apparently was the instigator and planner of thie move.
Mext DhalJ marched off and encam^pd at Al-Wafra and agai: . rt' er
advanced to Al-Jahal. From this place he proceeded to Maqalr where
he sent for the tribes of Al-Awazim, Al-Rlehaldah and cetafcn of the
Mutair who had long ago settled within the borders of Kuwait. When
they arrived he ordered them to Join his for ^ 8 aB he Intended
attacking the settlers at Qaryah. To this they replled'we will
neither listen to you, nor obey you because we are Bln Gaud's
and tha inhabitants of Ciaryah are subjeets of Bin Saud
