ARABIA.
North-West
Intelligence.
Northern Area.
Considerable execution was done at Akaba by two hostile
aeroplanes which appeared from the direction of Tebuk on
August 26. Our aeroplanes endeavoured to engage them, but
were unable to get into touch with them.. The casualties reported
are thirteen killed and eighteen wounded ; in addition eighteen
animals were killed and wounded.
On September 5 and 6 the Turks made two attacks on
Farah el-Hasa, seven miles west of el-Hasa station. On both
occasions they were driven back with loss. Of the Arabs two or
three men were killed and several wounded.
On the night of September 7 the enemy carried out night
attacks north and south of the Sherifian positions at Semna. To
the south they failed completely, losing ten men killed besides
an unknown number of wounded ; on the north they were
successful in effecting a temporary lodgment in the Arab
position, but were driven out by a counter-attack the following
morning.
Southern Area.
There has been a satisfactory revival in the activities of
the southern force. Twenty-one deserters have come in from
Meshed, of whom two are officers. They report that the con
viction that they are abandoned to their fate is spreading among
the garrison. Sherif Abdullah reports that, on September 1, a
train was wrecked near Abu IsTaam. Sixteen Turks were killed
and ten captured, and the engine was destroyed. In this sector,
says Abdullah, the Turks have only four engines left.
He reports on September 9 that he attacked the Turkish
positions at Mahulia and Sadikia, killing nine Turks and capturing
forty-three. Hasan ibn Safar, of the Wuld Mohammed section
of the Harb, was in command of the Sherifians. Mahulia and
Sadikia are nakhls in the neighbourhood of Medina.
