boats arrived here during the course ofMhe day (Sunday); they had left Ojair,
the Bahrein boats en route for Kuteef, Kowait boat for El Biddah with dates.
Ownm to the scarcity of water at Ojair, they filled up their water on the south

village and fresh-water wells.”)
The Chief of Bahrein got intelligence that the Kowait boat had a passen
ger embarked at Ojair for El Biddah (tribe Beni Hajjir), and that this was the
man who killed the Chief’s father. The Chief immediately despatched a party,
who took the man out of the boat and killed him on the beach ; on searching
his body several letters were found.
About 5 p.m. of the Sunday the Chief sent for the Moonshee and told
IB™ what he had done, and showed him several letters which were found on
SboJy of the dead man. The Chief had opened them with the exception of
one which was from Fereck
