Letter regarding an attack on one of his boats at sea between Kuteef [Al-Qatif] and Bahrein [Bahrain] in which the men on board the ship were murdered and the boat destroyed and accusing of Fysul [Faisal bin Turki bin Saud] of having been responsible for the actions as the sail from the boat was found to be in his possession.
The letter also reports that Fysul had accused Abdullah Omanee of committing the act, and that he on hearing of the accusation against him had sought protection from the Chiefs of Bahrein.
