(2) Ibn Baud to deal with all Northern Shammar matters
and their disputes.
(3) The Emir of Hail to be the independent governor of
Hail affairs, but final control to lie with Ibn Baud.
Subsequently it appeared that about one-third of the towns
people of Hail were adverse to this arrangement. Ibn Baud,
however, claims to have the support of the rest of the towns
people and of all the Shammar Bedouin, and has stated that
possibly he will visit Hail to deal with the malcontents.
He has not been slow in taking advantage of the opportunity
offered by the murder of Ibn Rashid and to all intents and
purposes will dominate Hail from now on.
It remains to be seen whether the advantages which will
result from the virtual disappearance of a separate Arabian
overlord, and his relegation to the position of vassal to another
who is admittedly pro-British and stable, will be greater than
the dangers that will accompany the inevitable spread of
Ikhwanism.
Nejd.
Ibn Baud made full use of his meeting with Major Dickson,
the officer deputed to meet him at Hasa (page 65). In a state
ment of his case, he asserted that during the war he had main
tained a consistently friendly attitude towards His Majesty’s
Government and had even gone to the extent of supporting
Sherif Husein by ordering Nejd subjects to help in the revolt.
After the fall of Medina he warned us, he said, that the
Sherif was preparing to attack Tarabah, but no heed was paid,
and the fight took place, with its disastrous result for the Sherif.
He repeated his plea for the Sherif to be restrained and for the
Pilgrimage to be re-opened to Nejd pilgrims, and added that he
was afraid that if the dispute were not quickly settled a religious
war between his people, who were straining at the leash, and the
army of King Husein would follow.
In a sketch of Ibn Baud, Major Dickson states that the Emir
is an impressive man of enormous energy and power, who com
pletely overshadows his followers ; he has a strong character
and overweening ambition ; is obviously a born leader, and is a
charming host. He has a pleasant smile, but talks always at
great length, and, says Major Dickson, one is unable to tell whether
he is a fanatic or an accomplished actor. “ His talk is mixed
up with many quotations from the Qoran and may be all bluff,
but one leaves feeling he has either got a strain of lunacy in him
