letter. The Mutair Akhwan were under the leadership of ibn SHGaIR
a well known Shaikh of that tribe. My informant atated that Shaikh
Salim (or ibn Mubarak as he ia called here) claima these wells aa
within Kuwait territory and had already warned ibn Shgair to
depart - but latter had refused and had started to build a few
mud huts preparatory to settling for the hot weather.
Aa a result of the raid, my informant stated, all ibn Shgair’a
camels had been taken and the settlers had been driven away. Aa
regards loss of life nothing definite could be elicited from
Shaikh Abdul Aziz.

been killed, one may expect to see some counter raiding of Kuwait
territory on the part of the Mutair who are fiercely Olannish and
will not allow the slight to go unpunished. The Mutair are strong-
