BUSHlRi:.
Sir,
ith reference to affairs at 3ur# I hare the honour
to draw your attention to an aspect of the situation .hich is
liable to be overlooked when dealing with immediate affairs at
Sur.
These Amirs of the Bani Hu All#in spite of their
title#are merely hheiixhs of a tribe. They are not strong enough
or influential enough amongst other tribes#to form an independ*
«ent Gtate without considerable extraneous support^and#! think
are sufficiently Intelligent to realize tills fact. Their holst-
-ing of Xbn Gaud's Hag#a fast likely to be resented by many
tribes#shows that they are new counting on such support.Ibn
Baud is too far a>«ay to afford any immediate or material assist
-ance except perhaps in the supply of arms from Jeddah.Such a
supply is actually coming into Sur though 1 have been unable do
far to ascertain its extent or whether it is being sent in by
Ibn Gaud himself.
The Amirs must realize that they cannot count on any
direct assistance from that quarter and it seems to me the sup*
•port «hich they are confidently looking forward to must come
from other parts of uman itself.X think that Isa bln Saleh alsc^
realizes this and tfcuit nls fear of an immediate attack by Ibn
Sand
