2 . With reference to the concluding paragraphs of Mr. Gaskin’s letter,
I am to enquire whether you consider that there are good grounds for believing
that the influence of the Ihani family over the tribes in Katr is rapidly
waning, and that Sheikh Ahmed desires an arrangement with His Majesty’s
Government primarily in order to secure his position, and that he would pro
bably at once make appeals for their support in asserting his diminishin 0 *
authority over the tribes in the El Katr peninsula.
