To snalvM Aoduilan d . Jasslm b. Tnanl, Ruler of Qatar.
A,C• You will remeoer that I promised you
all the rll'le ammunition that was In the Fort at Ai Blda,
and that, after the ammunition nad been counted, 105 more
ooxes were found In another place. This also I Inrormea
you you mignt Keep suo^ect to tne sanction or JSlr Percy
Cox. That OlTlcer has now written to me that the mlll-
-tary authorities require some more ammunition for the
Turkish rifles they have captured, while you have got so
few Turkish rifles that so much ammuntltlon is useless to
you. I should t>e much ohligod if you would send me 100
unhroKen boxes of Turkish ammunition by boat so that I may
examine it and report to the Army Commander. We can
then hold further correspondence on tne suuject.
As regaras tne tnree Turxisn guns wnich I took
away, the breech blocks and sights of these guns are miss-
-ing. These pieces were doubtless removed by the Turks
and buried or hidden somewnere. I should be mucn obliged
ii you would employ people to ascertain where these breech
blocks and sights are; and, if possible, obtain tnem for
me. Guns of this sort fes^e been used against the Tang-
were
-siris and other tribesmen who ars attacking Busnire, and I
am anxious that the ones I took away should be complete.
I received news yesterday that tnese trioesmen have been
severely defeated. Tnis is a good thing, as they HMe
by smuggling gun-running and piracy. You will remeber
that two years ago some of them attcKed a v oal boat,
muraered 8 Arabs and stole tnelr pearls. It is necesdaiy
for the British Government to keep these people in order,
so that there may be no hindrance to the Pearl trade,
