on the morning of the 23rd March. He appeared to be very
^arprised, and was most apologetic, when I told him that
the landing of private aeroplanes at Sharjah and Bahrain
was strictly prohibited, and said that if he had known
thxs he would have telegraphed for permission before taking
that route. He said that he had no clearance from Karachi
and apparently crossed to the Arab Coast from Gwadur. I
explained the position briefly and asked him, if he was
writing about his Journey, not to say anything about coming
to Sharjah or Bahrain. He said that he was not writing
about this part of the journey, that he quite understood
the position and would not talk or write about his coming
by this route. I accept his assurance that he was unaware
of the regulations and so far as I am concerned the
individual incident is closed.

to advise the Shaikh to issue a regulation that in view
