I beg to state that an incident took place on our side
which I think desirable to report to yau in view of our alliance.;,
It is this. Some asa of my subjects residing at my town, Hireh,
were deceived by Satan to go and occupy the house of the Chief
of Ajman. Suddenly three hours ks after dark on the night of
27th Ramazan 8 men went there when the Chief was praying in the
mosque, and occupied the house. There was firing between them,
and Tfhen I heard it I went there >with my companions in odder to
bring them out of the house. This I could not do except by
fighting them. Fighting lasted four days during which 5 men
from Ajman were killed and 3 men were wounded. On the side of
the mischief makers one ma;n was killed who was the ring leader
and guide. When ks. they came to the e«wi of their tetter and/^te
tightly pressed by fighting, they asked for safe conduct to
leave the house. Your Agent, Isa ben Abdul Qatif,. accompanied
me and used gootl offices so far as possible. They said that
they would come out on the safe conduct of myself and that of
the British Government. I gave them safe conduct for the safety
of (their) lives and property; so did your agent. They came down
and after the Shaikh of Ajman went to his house we returned with
the mischief makers, and your agent gave them lodging at his
house till they collect their men and property and go anywhere
^ i n
they like except /V my territory Ssak which they are forbidden.
This is what took place. I am prepared to carry out your
orders. Compliments from my btothers and son.
