throughout the year.
Khan Bahadur Saiyid Siddiq Hasan proceeded on leave to India on the 1st April
^1930 and returned on the 3rd November 1930. Mr. M. J. Gazdar, M.B.E., officiated
during his absence. ♦
Ruler of Bahrain and the Al Khalifa Family. —Shaikh Sir bin Isa has been moie
friencdy in his attitude whether through good will or senile decay it is hard to say.
He is slightly deafer than before but otherwise time leaves no mark on him.
Shaikh Hamad has been on excellent terms with the

throughout the
year. He has showed signs of being more able to stand on his own feet, and
needless to say has received every encouragement to do so. Plis health suffered a
relapse partly owing to the absence of Dr. Holmes, Dr. Todd being less successful
in persuading him to take his medicines.
Shaikh Abdulla bin Isa has rendered useful services to the Government as
Minister of Education and the brunt of the agitation in the schools fell on his shoul
ders. He showed however, an inclination to take hunting trips to the mainland
leaving the Adviser to grapple with the more arduous problems. He was nearly
drowned on returning from one, his launch being caught in a storm.
Shaikh Muhammad bin Isa took the customary summer holiday to the Lebanon.
He feels unable to take this holiday without explaining his decaying health for wqeks
beforehand, now saying that one side of his face has become larger than the otfier,
now saying that if his skin is indented by pressure it retains the mark, both of which
he considers very serious symptoms. If he were not President of the JVfanama
Municipality his futility would be of no interest, but his incapacity is a serious drag
on the usefulness of the premier public body.
Shaikh Salman bin Hamad continues to do useful work as Joint Judge in the
Bahrain Court. Allegations are occasionally heard against him but the Adviser has
a high opinion of his integrity. Some of the merchants are beginning to allude to
him openly as the “ Heir Apparent ” though he has not, of course, been recognised
as such by His Majesty’s Government.
Shaikh Rashid bin Muhammad has done well as President of the Majlis al
Urfi.
Shaikh Mubarak bin Hamad has been made Joint Magistrate on the Lower
Bahrain Court and shows promise, and if he can overcome his laziness will do
well.
Shaikh Abdulla bin Hamad was taken by the

to India to have
his eyes attended to. It was discovered by his Indian tutor that he was on the
point of going blind through want of attention, and the provision of proper glasses
has^made a marked difference to him. Shaikh Hamad’s callous indifference to his
son s obvious disability was a regrettable feature and some pressure was required
before the boy was allowed to leave Bahrain. The

arranged for him
to make a short tour in Rajputana, and he was much impressed by what he saw.
He was surprised that Government did not hang Mr. Gandhi, and on being pressed
to buy khaddar said “ Why should I buy inferior cloth ? My father is a Shaikh ! ”
Bahrain State. —Mr. de Grenier, Director of Customs, proceeded on leave on 1st
April and returned on 1st October.
A serious quarrel arose between Mr. de Grenier and the Am ir of Manama for
which the latter was mainly responsible and peace was restored with some diffi
culty.
Captain Parke took leave on urgent private affairs to settle his father’s estate,
starting on 9th December and returned on the 3rd March 1931.
Mr. Belgrave performed the duties of Director of Customs in addition to his
own duties.
Bahrain Police Force. —The Indians had dwindled to 70 and the local police
increased to 39 at the close of the year. There is also a force of naturs or night
watchmen, numbering 65 and 40 respectively and there are also a few at Rda’a.
