named BustaK bin Sulaiman, Aimiad bin Jamak ana Ibrahim bin

whet ier we would like to accompany them to xas al ihnlmah
where they promised us to give some work, dome of my
relatives and other people agreed to accompany them but
was left behind. They left Um-al- .aiwin in a sailing
boat for Ras-al-Khaimah. .hen they were in the middle of
the sea, suddenly one of those men named Ahmad attacked
my relatives and killed two of them firing with a gun
which they had with them. Two others were dropped into
the sea when they tr ed to resist or make any attempt
against the assailants. When the boat reached at Kas-al-

over to a man named 3aid, a bedouin, with the instruction
to sell them in Braimi. In Braimi they were sold to a man
