Holmes passed through here in the "Barala" last Friday, on
his way to Bahrain and then to Hasa,
He wired me from I^uhaamarah that he and his wife passing
through, so I invited them off to lunch. He said he hoped to
be coming to Kuwait shortly to negotiate with Shai&h Ahmad
for a Joint concession with Ibn Sa^ud in the territory common
to Kuwait and Najd, and rather spoke as if he had given up
hope of getting a concesaion in Kuwait territory proper - or
at any rate wished me to think he had. He did not see the
Shaikh at all on this occasion.
He said he was bringing one of the French caterpillar
cars (I forget the name of the make, but the kind that has
proved so satisfactory on the Sahara; as a present to Ibn
Sa^ud, and probably another for the Syndicate's geologists.
The Dahanah ought to be a good test for iti
M te , Holmes I who is apparently an Austrian by birth) is
stopping in Bahrain when he goes on to Hasa,
