2, peralnn Ocoupatlon * In confirmation ofI^cnce
Gumrrmry for Mny, it is reported that "PALAM" vieited both Henjiyai
and Basidu during May and estnbliehed naval poete, each under the
command of a Petty officer. Before leaving llohammerah, bazaar
gooaip was to effect that *PALAMQ" was b ing sent to capture Bnsidu.
(Bushire & Mohammerah Int. Heports.)
3. Inhabitants ex-Baeldu . Most of the male inhabitants
ex-Basidu were employed on construction worh rt the new naval base,
Jufair, Hard worfc: does not appeal to them however, and although
they intimated th*t they would not be averse to accepting posts
of supervision, such situations were not ova liable. 5?he number
employed has therefore dwindled to two.

Abu Dhabi .
6. A possible reason for the hhalich attempting to break his
agreement as regards the granting of air facilities at Abu Dhabi
is as follows. She present Shaikh is not the real heir to the
shaikhdom, but rules for hie uncle, who prefers a quiet life to
the earee and dangers of office. He is well aware that his
predecessor w*e murdered, and l^et a like fate befall him f he pays
certain Bedouin tribes of the interior for their support in the
event of trouble. These people are strongly averse to aircraft,
as not only do they observe the Arab womenfolk from above, but
also the Bedouins argue that it is fooliwh to present s potential
enemy with a landing ground in one's own territory.
7. It is thought, therefore, that after signing the Agreement
and ensuring for himself a regular monthly income, he had to face
the extreme disapproval of his Bedouin allies, and possibly the
withdrawal of their support. Threats from the British on one hand,
and the reproaches rsnd opposition of hie former friends on the other,
might well have caused any man to lose his temper, particularly when
he thought his life depended on the correct solution of the problem.
8* Has al khnimah . The Shaikh recently informed political
Besident that he would call on the next ship visiting his town.
To test this, "FOWSY", with the Officiating Political /gent, Bahrain
onboard, visited Ha« M lOiainah towards the end of June. Calls
were exchanged, and the shaikh is reported to have been very friendly.
9. The Honourable the
political resident
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.
hns therefore
requested the Anglo*Iranian Oil Company to send some geologists to
Has A1 JQiaimah in mid-July. Although it will be rather hot et
this time end s thorough Invest!gution will not be possible until
the autumn, the presence of the geologists will be a suitable "gestw
It will be remembered that when "BOUC* HVILLE” visited R./ .X* the
Shaikh asked Admiral Rive to send a French geologist. Such a course
would have been most undesirable.

Resident.)
