keep the proposed Shammar-Mecca alliance a secret until Ibrl
Rashid s forces were fully equipped, hut he would not say whether
the agreement provided for joint military action against Ibn Saud
either now or in the future.
We know of fbn Rashid’s failure to extract supplies and
aims fiom the Turks, and this last move of his calls for no
surprise. Mohammed el-Mughreibi said that he hoped to be
able to produce letters, written by Ibn Saud to Ibn Rashid and
to the Turks, suggesting alliances against the King of the Hejaz.
Abdul Hamid Bey el-Masri (see page 334) has fled to
Damascus. No Turkish officers are now in Hail, nor would
it be safe for them to remain there.
Two deserters, who left Medina a short time ago, state that
there is considerable privation there, notwithstanding that supplies
of dates and sheep reach the garrison from Hail convoyed by
Ibn Rashid’s men. It is stated that no less than fifteen hundred
sheep per month are sent in this way.
On September 6 or 7 one of Sherif Abdullah’s detachments
attacked an enemy patrol from Ayun, killing six men and
capturing four. About the same time, Sherif Ali captured, eight
men of a Turkish patrol from Bowat. East of Medina he also
killed eight Turks who were patrolling at A walk
General.
Husein Effendi Ruhi reports that he learns from a trust
worthy source that the King has imposed moderate counsels on
Shakir, who proposed to advance on Khurma. The King
ordered him to remain at Marran—sixteen hours north-west of
Khurma—and to send food to the population of Khurma who
are reported to be in want.
Mr. Philby, writing from Boreida on September 10, says
that Ibn Saud set forth on an expedition the preceding day.
He refused to allow Mr. Philby to accompany him on the ground
of Ikhwan fanaticism.
[Late News.—Southern Area.
Emirs Ali and Abdullah deny that large quantities of dates
and sheep reach Medina, as stated by Turkish deserters. They
say that the roads east and north of Medina are commanded by
their detachments, and although occasionally small supplies slip
through the cordon, the passage of a large convoy is impossible.
However they have ordered increased vigilance on the part of
the patrols.]
