Residency
After Complements.
I received your letter dated 30th June 1941 equivalent
to the 4th Jamad ath Thani 1360 the contents of which X have
understood. You asked me to enquire about the Baluchis who
plundered the dhow of Muhammad bin Ahmad subject of our brother
Shaikh Sultan bin Salim and also fired on the dhow of Abdur
Rahman bin Shahin of our subjects. The said Baluchis are the
men of Miraa bin Barakat who is living with lluhammad bin Hamad
ash-Sharqi. The names of some of them which I have been able
to obtain are, Ibrahim Mulla, 1 Isa Rafchid,'Bhulam Shah Yusuf
and others who are not known to me. They have a small boat
owned by Yunqul who is living in Liwa. The boat is beached at
Khor Nabr. Please excuse me for the delay of the information
which I have been able to obtain only four days ago as I was
busy with the war.
