I heg to forward herewith a letter reoeived "by me
from Shaikh Khaled "bin -\hinad, Tnief of 3Uargah, stating
that the respeota"ble merchants of his town who are
engaged in diving "business ask him to "build a reservoir
for tnem in the island of 3eer Bunair wiioh belongs to him
to reserve water at the time of raining so tiiat r.is
subjects take water in the next diving season from the
island. The Jiiaikh requested me to ask you if you have
any objection in this matter. In fact the merchants who
deal with divers experience much trouble in carrying
water and food such as dates, rice and firewood to tne
divine "hanks "because some of them reach the divers and
some of them spoil at sea on account of strong winds.
Letter dated 20th Moharram 1340 (23-9-31) from Shaikh
Khaled hin Ahmad, Jhief of ohargah, to the

Agent, Shargah.
A.J.
l "beg to inform you that the respectable men of my
town who deal witn divers came to me and stated that for
the last three years they have suffered much loss because
most of the tilings such as water, dates, etc. that they
have sent to the divers at the diving banks got spoiled
and asked me to construct a few wells or a reservoir
in my island Seer ^unair, to be ready for water at the
time of raining. 1 deem it necessary to enquire from
His honour, Colonel Trevor, the Resident and Consul
General, whether the (rovernment object to me or not.
i hope you will not neglect a .i this action is only to
avoid further trouble and losses on the divers my
subj ects.
