No. 113, dated 11 Hi August 1874.
I HEARD from thoso who arrived from Guttur that the Beni Uajir who went
to tho Shunnl from Al Biddah.havc now returned to their former place. They
continually,ask for vessels from Jassem and his father, and it is their intention
to cross to Bahrein. Tlioy asked Jassem why ho did not give them his vessels
to go over to Bahroiu, ho roplied that lie was incapable of doiug so. They then
said it is of no conscqucuco whether you give your vessels or not; if wo only
got ouo boat wo shall go to the fishery, Bcize tho boats and attack Bahrein.
The next day after tho abovo discussion, a boat was lying at anchor at Guttur,
when a party of ten of tho Beni Uajir suddenly rushed into the buggarah. On
tho pcoplo of tho buggarah crying out for help, they left her and ran away.
Mahomed bin Sanco lias given notice to all in the place not to give a boat to
tho Beni Uajir. The Beni Uajir rob every night al Guttur; they even robbed
from the Turkish officer's house some guuuios of rice.
Tho bunyahs of Guttur havo written to thoso of Bahrein to be wary at all
times as tho Boni Uajir ou getting boats will at onco attack Bahrein. Jassem
bin Mahomed bin Sauco apparently withdraws himself from the Beni Uajir,
but at least ho is with them. Hamad bin Abdulla and Salman biu Ahmed

bin Mobarik with Jnssom bin Sancc. Whou ho arrived from Lingah a
