20. In conclusion, I desire to testify to the services rendered by my colleagues
on the mission, Mr. S. R. Jordan and Mr. G. Antonius, whose previous work at
Wadi
A seasonal or intermittent watercourse, or the valley in which it flows.
-al-’Aqiq was of great assistance in clearing the ground and enabling me to form
a just appreciation of the situation. Mr. Jordan afforded me valuable help at all times
and placed his local knowledge and experience unreservedly at my disposal. I have
had occasion, in connection with previous missions to the Hejaz and the Yemen, to
bring the services of Mr. Antonius to the favourable notice of His Majesty’s
Government, and will only add now that his intimate knowledge of Arab language
and psychology, combined with a clear understanding of the questions at issue, was
quite invaluable and contributed in no small measure to the results achieved.
I have, &c.
GILBERT CLAYTON.

the other party.
