In continuation of my letter No. 125, dated the 21st June 1903, I have
the honour to report that Abdul Karim Effendi, hearing that the S.S. Henry
Bolckow was to arrive here shortly and was going to Basrah, he postponed
his departure with a view to proceed by that vessel. Immediately after the
departure of the mail steamer for Bushire the S.S. Hoseinee arrived here, and
it appears that Abdul Karim Effendi’s family joined some other passengers
at Basrah and came by the latter vessel; and there being no further necessity
for his proceeding to Basrah, Abdul Karim Effendi left Bahrein with family for
Al Hassa via Ojair on Thursday afternoon.
The Kaimmakam of Al Bidaa, Abdul Kadir Effendi, arrived here on the
25th instant on his way to Al Hassa. He informed my confidential agent
that he received a letter from the Mutessarif about three weeks ago to the
effect that he should proceed to Al Hassa, as he wished to discuss Katr affairs
with him, and that, as Yusuf Beg had nothing to do at Wakra and was at El
Bidaa, he appointed the latter to act for him during his absence from the post;.
I have received a letter from a correspondent in Al Bidaa corroborating this
information.
