(*- iu receiTed an invitation to go to Jj&hej but that he relies
on the British Government and the Kuwaiti Sultan. He has
sent in Saiyid Abdallah Abdul Jahbar^ an influential Man*
sab of the Aulaki and Fadli countries. The latter reports
that Ibn Abdallah the Eathir i Sultan and the Kuwaiti are
now friendly (vide last weefc^s letter) and that recently
no communications have been received in the Eadramaut
from the Imam*
The Mansab further reports that the Turks at LaheJ
made overture* to AHL BEIYKB and AI« •ADAM, vho inhabit
the Lower Aulaki coast, and that on their return from
Lahej, Said

gave them flags and told them to open
s new harbour at A1 Uawir, place between Haura and Irka;
that the Saiyid of Ahl A1 Bait! of HajaX (Hadramaut- and
th« Sheikh of Bil id,one Ibn al As-hab, have also received
Turkish flags*
Theoretically the Lower Aulaki Sultau is responsible
for these tracts (other than Hajar) but he is only a no
minal ruler inland; and as an illustration of this I may
quote the occasion ufoen a schooner landed a party of six
Germans at Sheikha Eurba - vid® Weekly Letter dated l8th
