About this item
- Content
Manners writes that his vessels have remained on the coast off Al Biddeh [al Bidda], and have made 'a true survey' of the coast and its shoals, which will allow boats to moor off al Bidda in future. However, Manners recommends against vessels travelling along the coast further south, which he describes as being extremely unsafe. Manners also states that the Wahhabi chief is preparing to make war upon al Bidda, however his postscript suggests that the Wahhabi chief has returned to the interior, with amicable arrangements having been effected.
