I would mention here that I gather from another source
that the American Oil Companies send him papers and news showing
how powerful, wealthy and so on they are, and that this pro
paganda, backed by the talk of interested persons, has had a
considerable effect on his mind.
7. When talking about the Yemen I told Shaikh 'Abdullah
that, though tue advance of Bin Sa'ud's forces along the coast
was, so far as I knew, true, many people thought that the T™"™
Yahya was not dead and that in Kuwait the news was only
accepted with considerable reserve. I think that it would be
well, if the news of the Imam's death proves false, for me to
write to Shaikh 'Abdullah to tell him, and I would request that
I may be informed by telegram when authentic news is received
about it.
8. J enquired about the Akhwan settlements as directed,
in your telegram No:462 dated the 5th May 1S34.
Shaikh 'Abdullah says that there are two small
Akhwan settlements at Sakak and Ambak, and that he knows of no
others. He does not know how many people live in those places,
but thinks that they are very few; and they are inhabited mainly
by nomads wno live there during the summer and leave for grazing
in the winter. He says that all the tribes within the area of
the British Sphere and as far as Baraimi pay Zakat to Bin Sa'ud
It is collected by small parties of ten men or so and no one
dares to interfere with his authority.
Shaikh 'Abdullah bin 'Isa told me in conversation
recently that the people of Sakak used long since to be servants
of the Al Khalifah Family, and are still in touch with them. He
has two friends there, 'Ali and Muhammad bin Yabur, who are at
the moment away in the Yemen. I will try to find out more from
him later on.
Shaikh 'Abdullah bin Qasim maintained his old objection
to aeroplanes landing at Raiyan (of which he is really nervous),
tat has weakened to the extent that he ao^iesoed in Group Captain
