Papers relating to twenty Somalis who arrived in Bahrain from Qatar in February 1949, claiming to be survivors of a shipwrecking off the coast of Muscat. The papers include:

- correspondence exchanged between the Bahrain Political Agency and Persian Gulf Political Residency concerning the provision of maintenance for the Somalis, and possible repatriation to British Somaliland [Somalia];
- correspondence between the Political Agent at Bahrain (Cornelius James Pelly) and the Adviser to the Government of Bahrain (Charles Dalrymple Belgrave) on the increasing numbers of Somalis in Manama, and speculation that the Somalis who arrived in Bahrain had in fact travelled to Qatar to seek work at the oil company in Qatar (Petroleum Development (Qatar) Limited);
