41. The headman of Hemriyeh revolted against the Shaikh of Shargah in
February and organized raids on Shargah in which a Shargah man was killed and
a lot of camels looted. The Shaikh of Shargah collected a force against Hemriyeh
but, owing to the assistance of the Bedouin and others, the fighting seemed likely
to be protracted, and British subjects and British interests at both places seemed
likely to suffer. H. M. S. “ Philomel ” accordingly proceeded to the scene and
endeavoured to effect an amicable settlement. The Shaikh of Shargah was willing
to do this, but the headman of Hemriyeh refused to see either the Captain of
H. M. S. “ Philomel ” or the Residency Agent. A truce was accordingly arranged
pending a reference to Bushire. As it was evident that the only way of settling
the matter was to make the headman of Hemriyeh submit, H. M. S. “ Philomel
was requested to arrange this, and the headman submitted and signed a peace with
the Shaikh of Shargah on the 29th instant. The matter was thus satisfactorily
settled without recourse to force.
