days’ march from Biddah watching events.
Abdullah bin Seneyan sent a cossid to Jassim bin Mahomed bin Sanee
asking for 30 hags of rice, and to allow the Beddoos to come into Biddah for
purchase of necessaries. Jassim refused to give them rice or permission to
come to Guttur as he was at enmity with them. Abdullah bin Seneyan said
nothing after receiving this letter.
The A1 Murrah attacked the cattle of the Guttur people, carrying away
a great number and four horses belonging to Jassim bin Mahomed bin Sanee.
They will no doubt attack and plunder Biddah, for they have nothing to resort
to for purchase of food, and if driven by hunger they will attack Biddah which
is defenceless, all the men having gone to the pearl-fishing.

Mahomed, an inhabitant of Bahrein, arrived from Biddah and said that
Jassim bin Mahomed bin Sanee informed him that the Turkish Government
vessels had gone to Bahrein and had seized Sheik Esau bin Ali and taken
possession of "the island, and that the English Government vessels had left
Bahrein. Mahomed says that, on hearing this, he immediately left Biddah
and went to Bahrein, and found that what had been told him was false, and
that only fools woud give out such news, but that people believe these reports
and disquiet and anxiety is caused thereby.
