coolness between him and His Majesty’s Government. I an
not myself in favour of it and I do not think it would in
any way help the two Shaikhs. I canrot doubt ♦he King’s
formal assurance that they are alive. * have little doubt
that they have been in fact removed to Hofuf and I believe
Ibrr Jiluwi, the Governor of Has a, to be a cruel gaoler,
but I do not think that even Ibn Jiluwi would murder these
men in defiance df the King. In my oninion, what ^ have
already done will at least suffi ce to remind Ibn Sa’ud
that His Majesty’s Government are not indifferent to the fate
of Ibn Hithlain and Ibn Lami.
5. I took an opportunity An the course of my conversations
with ^\iad Bey of suggesting that the King mipht well, after
this lapse of time, relax his severity ar d treat these
prisoners in the same wa' r as many others who are kept under
a sort of open arrest at Riyadh. I cannot be sure that ^uad
Bey would pass this on to the King bu+ T think the best
hone for these unfortunate men is that, when his present
troubles are ended, Ibn Ba’ud will relent somewhat. He
has already shown signs of anxiety to disarm hostility among
+he Ajman and Mutair. As for Ibn Humaid, ^ad s ey + ol'i me
snontaneously that anneals had been made to the King on hie
beh&if hut had not been successful. H e added that Ibn
Humaid was not really bad-hearted but rather a simple soul.
I recalled the time when he had. been so good a servant that
he had been one of the conquerors of Mecca.
6. I am sending a con-r of this d.esnatch to the Political
Resident in the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
.
I b*nr* the honour to be with the highest resnect,
Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble servant,
