on© financial backer and may therefor© have to give up his
project of forming a 100# British Company. Meanwhile, it is
understood that Mr. Ricketts of Ethiopian fame was recently in
Baghdad, but it is doubtful whether a ^oup 1 on the Truoial
Coast would be sufficiently spectacular after his recent
financial adventures.
Kuwait. Constructions and drilling materials are exnected to
arrive in November and will probably be landed between Has
Kadhama and a point about 3 miles to the northeast. (See Chart
Ho.1214).
The Company have decided to drill at three points;
Bahra on the North side of the bay, Burgan about 30 miles south
of Kuwait town, and at a third point between Burgan and Kuwait.
Oil ooze is in evidence at the first two places, and gas at the
third.
Hasa. It is reported that a high gas pressure has been found
in die first well drilled, but little oil. Permission is being
sought to sink a second well. (Bahrain Int. Report).

ARMS AND SLAVE TRAFFIC.
"LUPIN" carried out a 24-hour patrol in the Straits
of Hormuz at the end of October during which three dhows were
sighted and searched. It Is probable that these occasional
patrols are sufficient to limit the traffic to its present small

along the Arab Coast.
ITALQ ABYSSINIAN CRISIS.
The war is the chief topic of conversation among
the Arabs and there seems little doubt that the British attitude
in the dispute has greatly enhanced our prestige.
It is widely believed that Great Britain is the
League of Nations, and also that as ’’protecting power" to
Abyssinia we must eventually assist her against the Italians.
Letters from Arabs at Aden and in Egypt containing news of
naval and air concentrations, do much to confirm this belief.
(Bahrain and Kuwait Int. Reports.)
