Translation of an arable petition datad 8th Rabi-ul-Awal 1 , 544
g6th S©pt9inb0r 1925 from diving Hakhudas of Bahrain to the Gort: of
Bahrain
After Oompliinents•
We the undersigned dlying Nakhudas have the honour to represent
the affairs to His Bxcellency Government as regards our affairs
in the world, and whatever nay be useful to maintain our respect
and benefit of the people.
!
We are astonish minded and find ourselves in a very narrow
path, and we find nobody to whom we should complain except (Allah)
the Almighty God subsequently next to that the Government which
Allah has appointed as guardian of the affairs of the people, and
to guide the© on the right rack,
i|
In these days our account books are useless to us, our money
scattered and the' Araba (Hakhudas) trying for collection, but their
account books are lying with them uselessly nobody even hear the
voice of ringing money, the country around looks to us very dark.
Tajars (traders) do not assist the Makhudas and the ^akhudas are not
fit for work for this reason# The if&spirit of diving is spoilt
and wa gain no profit at all on account of disadvantages and
f
troubles which have overtaken us from the Government.
If a diuer has a claim against a iiakhuda, he should pay him
without any dispute but on the other hand, the -Makhuda has no
assistance to encourage him against the divers.
For this reason the divers having beoBme desperate have
overcome the Kakhudas, therefore, we are surprised indeed in all
the troubles inflicted on us without any consideration. When the
trouble pressed us we found no alternative than to t ke recourse
towards those in authority.
The diving conversation is stopped at present and it is an
,
opportunity for us to explain to the Government the following
facts clearly which gave much trouble to the subjects and of course
spoils the diving expedition f
■ il ■'
Despite we had to cure and bore all troubles and hateful
/I j
things the divers had overcome us. We now request the Government
