have brought out the whole lot in pursuit n kifna yasirun

fi dhahurna n and would have resulted in damage to our force.
During all this time that I am talking about, our mounted scouts
and theirs were engaged with each to: other, finally we halted
our camels and dismounted and advanced to the attack. I swear
by God Almighty, 0. Abdul Aziz, we had no other intention what
soever except to save ourselves by this action; we never, for
a moment, thought affairs would turn out as they have. But
God is kind; after we rushed forward, and rifle fire broke out
Allah removed his favour from our enemies and caused them to
break.The AKHWA2T continued their advance until they actually
i
| occupied the towers, taking their occupants and slaying them.
This then went on till the whole of JAHEA was in their hands.
I BN SUB AH and those with him fled into the Qasr A1 Hamr. We
remained at Jahrah for two days. Bin Subah sent us a
messengerlasking for pease saying " Your enemies are mine, and
.
your friends are my friends". He then asked that we should
move to SUBAIHIYAH. We did so, our terms being-he Bin Subah
could have peace, if you Bin Saud agreed to give it them, -and
that we had referred the matter to you. Now then 0 Abdul Asia
if you want peace with Bin Subah and you know he is reliaola
then thanks be to God; we only wish you to know we have had
‘no other object than to defend ourselves and our property.
If however you have any other ideas regarding Koweit and its
environs, and do not wish for peace with Ibn Subah, then
please let us know, and send as reinforcements the rest of
the people of ABTIYEH. We do not want anyone else but they.
Insha Allah, we will be sufficient for the job of taking
both Bin Subah and his Koweit. Should you on the other hand
lave some other idea, we await your orders. Hegardin^ „ ou
