mails were saved. There were a number of other affrays of the same kind
by Iraqi tribesmen until the Shaikh dealt effectively with them by means
of car patrols.
The Shaikh took care during the rebellion to issue stringent orders to
prevent the sale of arms to Iraq.
(2) Newspaper Attacks .—Certain Iraqi newspapers, notably al Bilad,
a newspaper understood to stand in Government favour, continued to make
attacks on Kuwait in varying form.
Instances are contained in the issue of al Bilad of—
(a) 7th August and
(&) 26th August.
(3) Violation of Kuwait Territory. — {a) An Iraqi Customs launch
came into Kuwaiti waters without permission, in July and September.
On the 9th of July the launch held up Kuwaiti sailing craft off
Maschan Island at the mouth of the Bay of Kuwait.
(b) On the 25th of September the Customs launch fired on and seized
the craft of some Kuwaiti woodcutters off Bubiyan Island.
In neither case was there any redress or reparation made by the Iraq
authorities, who denied the incidents.
(c) Persia.
The situation vis-a-vis Iran became very slightly easier during the
year. In 1934 Iran treated Kuwait as far as she was able, as a part of
Iran territory, that is in the matter of trade and passport regulations. In
1935 a change was noticed and British passports valid for Kuwait were
visaed by Iran authorities for Iran instead of being described by them as
invalid.
VIII. Oil.
The Kuwait Oil Company, which obtained a concession from the
Shaikh in December 1934 as reported in the Administration Report for
that year, began the dis-embarkation of its personnel for work in Kuwait
in December 1935, with a view to drilling by the 1st of May 1936 at
Bahra7 on the North side of the Bay of Kuwait.
The local Manager of the Company installed himself with some
assistants in the town of Kuwait by the end of the year.
