shaikh, on oth February, and subsequently accompanied the part
as it left some little way on the road.
15. The Jhaikh accompanied the King, as a courtesy and
in ord^r to hunt with him on and about the frontier. His
Majesty expected to reach Jarya al Ilya on about the 9th
February, and the shaikh to return to Kuwait about the same
day.
16. The general i tpression created by the visit was
excellent. The town was en fete and the shopkeepers found
it a financial windfall very much to their liking, because
this fahhabi party bought up every bottle of scent in the
bazaar, much silk, 40 gramophones, every record available,
tobacco in great quantity, many maunds of coffee, all Ford
spares, and so much petrol that there was none left in
