on the morning
*
of the 8th December, and informed him that after paying Sa’ud
bin *Abdullah bin Jiluwi a visit of condolence, he had proceeded
to Riyadh where he saw Bin Sa^d and the Heir Apparent in public.
Shaikh Sultan received the following presents at Riyadh:-
1 V.8 Ford Car
14 Rifles
8 Pistols, and
Cash and clothes.
There is no reason as yet to suspect that there was any
political object in this visit, though in view of the visits of
Shaikh Sa’id bin Maktum of Dubai (see paragraphs No.147(a) and
No.148(c) of Intelligence Report No.18 of 1935) and Shaikh Saltan
bin Salim of Ras al Khaimah (see paragraphs No.157 and No.l59/2/iv
of Intelligence Report No.19 of 1935) to the late Amir of Hasa,
it naturally was of r-nsiderable interest.
It seems to be generally accepted that the Chiefs arefc/
visiting Hasa and trying to visit Bin Sa’ud in the hope of
getting some money and other presents and it is also certain
that the late Shaikh ’Abdullah bin Jiluwi discouraged visits
to Riyadh under orders of Bin Sa’ud. It is possible that
Shaikh Sultan bin Saqar may have been allowed to go on to
Riyadh because Sharjah is rather more Wahabi than the other
places and Shaikh Saqar (father of the present Shaikh) was
friendly with Bin sa’ud.
