etill manned to some extent at night, and the country i«
^till patrolled daily between Sau'aibah, ^uhaihiyah and
‘^le of the demands which the people made for the defen
of th% town 'an that Shaikh ’An *X-Khaiifah should be
glwar. G ®aa»nd, and should have an absolutely free hand and
should be awfUHtad in every w~y poaalble. To this Shaikh
toad readily agreed. Shaikh # AU al-Ihaiifah was selected

expected to stick at trifles if he saw a chance of betteriig
