accession of h. E. Shaikh Hamad’bin Isa.
His Excellency Shaikh Sir Isa bin Ali alKhalifaii,
K. 0* 1 . E., G. S. I., died suddenly on 9th December
1932. He was of great age and had been in failing
health lor many years. He died in the early morning
while H. E. Shaikh Hamad was out hunting in the south
of the island. It is a significant fact and caused
considerable comment that the widow of the late Ruler
gave orders that the funeral should take place at once,
without waiting for d. E. Shaikh iiamad to arrive. H. E.
Shaikh Hamad reached the cemetery a few minutes before
the ceremony was completed. Shaikh Abdullah bin Isa
was on a visit to the mainland and Shaikh Sulman, who was
at his country house, arrived at Muharraq^ after the
funeral. Owing to the unsuitable haste with which the
arrangements were made no Police or officials attended
and many of the chief Khalifah Shaikhs were unable to
arrive in time.

two months later. The principal event was a
