he spoke, and their custom of carrying out the death sentence
for such offences as smoking or shaving the beard did not at all
appeal to the easygoing population of Aneizah. He heard that
most of their recruits were obtained from the survivors of their
raids, which appeared to be carried out about once a month.
Recruiting is stimulated among these by offering the alternatives
of death or joining the brotherhood, but subsequent desertion is
frequent.
Ibn Saud.
Ibn Saud is on good terms with the Shammar and has
recruited a good many of them. They have agreed to keep the
peace on condition that Ibn Saud keeps open the trade routes
and stays in his own country. Should he attempt to advance
against Hail, they would oppose him strenuously. His relations
with King Husein were not reputed to be bad, but with Sheikh
Salim of Koweit they were distinctly strained, and he was said to

at the same time invests them with full magisterial powers to
try cases which it may be inexpedient to refer to arbitration.
