Statament made by Musa bln Halrl of Alula on the 13th Rabl II 134 q
A ten days before I left Alula seven years ago to go to Bahrain,
ray uncle ’Abdul Karim bin Lallan made up his mind to go to Bur
with his wife and son named Sa'id, who was then about five years
old, and when I left for Bahrain they were in the port waiting for
boat to go there. About seven months after my arrival in Bahrain
I heard from people coming from Alula that my cousin Sa'id had
been stolen from his parents about ten days after their arrival at
Sur and that he was not found.
I remained a year in Bahrain and then came to Kuwait where I have
been for the last six years.
Yesterday evening when several of us were sitting in a tea-shop
a Somali named Husain bin Nabitah came up and said that as he was
passing Nafisi's house he saw a boji playing with sime other boys
whom he thought looked like a Somali by blood; he said to him in
Somali ’’Are you a Somali?” At first he did not reply, but when
he repeated the question, he said ”H1”, and when he then asked him
his name he said "Sa'id”. When Husain bin Nabitah told us this
we went to see for ourselves, and as soon as I saw the boy I
recognised him as my cousin Sa'id.
Statement df made by Yusuf bln ’An of Alula on »3th Rabl' II
I am a Somali 0 f Alula. When I was at home seven years ago, I heard
from the townspeople, including his relatives, that a boy named
Sa’ld bin ’Abdul Karim had been stolen from his parents at Sur,
and that his father had petitioned our Shaikh Sultan ’Uthman, who
had written to the Sultan of Muscat but had received a reply that
h© could not be traced*
x Went with Husa bin Halrl to 'Abdullah an-Nafisfa ho u 8 e and saw
the boy whom he identified aa his cousin. I had never known him in
our own country so I could not recognise him as that, but X
identified him as a Somali by blood.
