On enquiry I learnt that Abdool Azeez bin Saood was visiting Sheikh Esau.
I remained at a distance until Abdool Azeez arrived on horseback with ten attend-
ants following and four m front, together with a crowd of attending Bedouins.

A boat has arrived from Kuteef and informs that since arrival of the Turks
there cholera has been general owing to the filth of the town, the number of

the towns and they die a Eursak outside.
The Oman pearl-fishers call at Bahrein to purchase dates. They inform
me that some of them went to Adeyd and saw that every Eriday they hoist
there the Turkish flag.
