No. 129, dated Bahrein, the 28th June 1903.
From—J. C. Gaskin, Esq., Assistant Political Agent at Bahrein,
To -Captain V. dkV. Hunt, First Assistant to the Political Resident in the Persian
Gulf.
In continuation of my letter No. 125, dated the 21st June 1903, I have
the honour to report that Abdul Kerim Effendi, hearing that the S.S. “ Henry
Eolckow * was to arrive here shortly and was going to Basrah, he postponed
ms departure with a view to proceed by that vessel. Immediately after the
departure of the mail steamer for Bushire, the S.S. “ Hoseinee*’ arrived here,
and it appears that Abdul Kerim Effendi’s family joined some other passengers
at Basrah and came by the latter vessel; and there being no further necessity
lor his proceeding to Basrah, Abdul Kerim Effendi left Bahrein with family
lor A1 Hassa vw Ojair on Thursday afternoon.
^ ie Kaimmakam of A1 Bida, Abdul Kadir Effendi, arrived here on the
25th instant on his way to A1 Hassa. He informed my confidential agent
that he received a letter from the Mutessarif about three weeks ago to the
effect that he should proceed to A1 Hassa, as he wished to discuss Katr affairs
with him, and that, as Yusuf Beg had nothing to do at Wakra and was at A1
Bida, he appointed the latter to act for him during his absence from the post.
I have received a letter from a correspondent in Al Bida corroborating this
information.
