4. aHAHJt-H. .flat and placid, this Shaikh had nothing of
Interest to report. He was chiefly concerned In replenishing
his supply of foodstuffs from the Canteen and obtaining medical
assistance for his digestion.
5. AL AJhAfl. Here again, the Shaikh reported all to be
well. . He said that he was suffering from malaria, and certainly

6. UMK AL QUA III. Orosa in person and apparently lact.ing
in intelligence, the Shaikh was certainly the least attractIre

as it included a motor tour of part of his territory, it would

date garden some ten miles from the town, was made at hit

the Shaikh explained that his past refusal to call on H*li* Ships
and Political officers was due to the way in which he had been
forced to allow a petrol barge to be moored in his lagoon. It
was also understood that some of his pearling dhows had been
blockaded at the time to ensure his acquiesenoe.
11. r I?he Shaikh wished for information on two questions
(a) Use of landing ground*
(b) Position of petrol barge.
