Following a meeting with Ellis yesterday, we have
now marked on the relevant aerial photographs and the
sheet in the 1501 (G) series (NE 39-42) the most likely
location of Jabal Sedakh. The mountain is ringed in
blue on the photographs and is chown as a blue cross
inside a circle on the map. I enclose copies of both.
2. Although Ellie had not himself seen Febel Sadakh,
he was fairly confident that the point we have mazked
would probably be it. It is on the watershed between
Wadis Haburuf and Difan, which are recognised Ice ally as
belonging respectively to the Mehra and the Bait Kathir,
and it is the place where Wadi sadoich begins. Ellis
emphasised that it was a common principle throughout the
area for Wadis to take their nemes from the locality
where they start. since, however, we can not be
completely sure that the point we have marked is correct,
and the place in question is not particularly difficult
o eccess from Haberut, it would atill be useful if the
Sulton were to send a small party to the area to check.
3. I am copying this letter with the section of the
map, but without the photographs, to Remeay Molhuish in
Bahrain and Mark Marshall in Aden. Two further sets of
photographs will be sent to you shortly and one to the
Residency.
