deposed and Shaikh Hamad v /es made Deputy Iftaler. Shaikh
Abdulla and his mother were the real leaders of a strong
party which opposed Shaikh Tsa 1 s compulsory retirement
though Shaikh Abdulla agreed outwardly to supi^ort his brother.
. A number of leading Arabs w .re members of this party which
was financed by She-'kh Abdulla and his mother, they included
Shaikh Abdel Wahab Zayanl, Abdulla Zaid who now runs a print
ing press, Jasim Chiravi v /ho retired to India and several others.
Shaikh Abdulla was threatened with banishment if he did not
behave. After this he made no open attempt to upset the autho
rity of Shaikh Hamad and although in 1332 he was suspected by
some of giving encourage:■ ent to the divers who created a riot
T have never known any occasion when he has not supported his
brother. I think sometimes he has influenced matters in such
a way that he has obtained credit for settling trouble which
he r.ight have pift a stop to earlier on.
In 1225 Shaikh Abdulla, and a wife, went to England
with Shaikh TT ar ad and his family. Shaikh Abdulla preferred
his first visit.
Since I have been in Bahrain Shaikh Abdulla has been
consulted by Shaikh Hamad in aLiost every important matter
regarding politics, oil negotiations, finance and family
matters. In many cases matters of importance have been passed
on by Shaikh Hamad to ryself and Shaikh Abdulla or in some
cases to myself and Shaikhs Abdulla and Sulman and in all ry
dealings with Shaikh Abdulla I have found him quick, diplo
matic and far seeing.
Shaikh Abdulla has four sons, Mohammed, Tjteshid, Ali
and Kamed. Three of them used to d^ink, two of them still
Jlrink. Kbne of the three elder sons are in any way distinguish- |
ed and the youngest is still a boy.
