General.
King Husein reports that calm has been restored at Khurma
and that the people are settling down. It is clear that a
considerable number of Akhwan missionaries have been at work
in the Khurma and Tarabah districts ; but there is no reason for
believing that they are supported by aught but their own
fanaticism.
Sherif AH has telegraphed to his father that a convoy of
1,800 camels is leaving Hail for Medina under strong escort.
He says his information is certain, and he has shown his belie!
in it, not only by sending a strong force to intercept the blockade-
runners, but also by asking his brother, Abdullah, to co-operate.
It is, however, difficult to believe, unless the camels are being-
sent unloaded to replenish Fakhri’s transport, which we know to
be in great need of animals. If Ibn Rashid is obliging Fakhri
in this way, in spite of bitter personal grievances, it must be by
superior order from Damascus, and in the hope of receiving his
reward from Constantinople in the shape of much-desired
guns (see p. 214). All Ibn Rashid’s heart is evidently set on
o-ettino- an armament which, he thinks, will enable him to be
independent in Hail and snap his fingers at Ibn Sand. We shall
no doubt hear more of that convoy, if really it has started.
NOTES.
Ibn Rashid.
Ibn Rashid, was well received at Hail, according to Sherif
Sharaf’s information. The absence of Rashid ibn Leilah was a
relief to the townspeople, who are anti-Turk now, and will
support the Emir only so long as he keeps away from the
Ottoman Government. Letters, which he wrote to the latter on
arrival, went up to Jauf el-Amr, where Sheikh Abdullah ibn
Dakhil, of the Ageyl, happening to be buying horses for Sherif
Abdullah from the Anezah, intercepted them and forwarded them
to his master. The Emir is said to have sent a message to the
Sheikh of Koweit asking to be supplied from there.
Ajeimi es-Saadmi.
An Anazeh sheikh, Kazim el-Jidi, who left Kerbela four months
ago for Mecca, was caught two days north of Linah by Ajeimi’s
men and kept twenty-five days a prisoner. Liberated by a
Shammar raiding party, he got through to Boreida and Rass
and so to Emir Ali. He has written a letter to Sir Percy Cox,
in which he says that Ajeimi has only about forty followers,
chosen as rajiqs from different tribes and sections to ensure his
personal safety. With these he lives by raiding caravans. The
