change in the views of the British Government regarding the political
position of Kuwait. In April 1893 Sir C. Ford, the British
Ambassador at Constantinople, stated officially to the Turkish
Minister for Foreign Affairs that Her Majesty's Government admitted
the existence of Turkish sovereignty along the coast from Basrah to
Qatif. In 1895, however, a piracy was committed in the Shatt-al-'Arab
on the "Haripasa/' a British-protected vessel; and, partly from the
proceedings to which this case gave rise, but not before the death of
Shaikh Muhammad, there arose a doubt in the mind of the British
authorities as to the nature of the connection between the Shaikh of
Kuwait and the Turkish Government.

SHAIKH MUBARAK-BIN-SUBAH,
from 1896.
General history of Kuwait from the accession of Shaikh Mubarak to
the Exclusive Agreement with Britain, 1896-99.
During the first three years of his reign the position of Shaikh
Mubarak, in danger as he was of revenge from members of his own family
and without external support, seemed very precarious.
The sons of the murdered Shaikh Muhammad and his brother Jarrah
removed, after remaining a short time at Kuwait, to Turkish ^Iraq,
where their cause was warmly taken up by their maternal relation *
\ usuf-bin-'Abdullah (generally known as Yusuf Bin-Ibrahim) of Donh
on the lower Shatt-al-^Arab, a wealthy merchant and landholder of the
Basrah Wilayat Efforts were made by Yusuf to interest the Wali of
Basrah and even Ibn-Rashid, the Amir of Jabal Shammar, in the case
of the young men, and no means of harassing Shaikh Mubarak was
neglected. On the 30th of June 1897 a boat expedition, organised by
\'usuf on the coast of the Hindiyan district in Persia, appeared off
* The relationship was rather complioated. 'Ali-bin-Jahir, who was the youngest
brother of Shaikh Subah of Kuwait, married the youngest daughter of 'Ali-bin-
Muhaaimad-bin-Ibrahim, and had bj 1 her three daughters, of whom the eldest married
Shaikh Muhammad and became the mother of his sons Subah, Sa'ud, Khalid and
Adhbi, w!dle the secoi.d married Jarrah and bore a son Hamud and a daughter who
married her own first cousin Subah-bin-Muhammad. An elder daughter of 'Ali-bin-
Muhammad-bin-Ibrahiin married 'Abdullah, a first cousin of her own father, and
became the mother of Yusuf.
