Tha Aranah then opan^d flr« on the Muscat ttovernmant
ship, the *kl Saead" though the/ did not succeed in
hitting it*
For this act against the 3oTerni&ant they were
fined
rupees
Indian silver coin also widely used in the Persian Gulf.
10,000/- a sua ehich the Muscat Government
have been totally unable to recover since they have no
force at their disposal*
9* Thus the Araaah were up to this point the
villains of the play*
But with the new claim of the /Hairs of Ja&lan
to independence and to the control of £ur the Arsua&h,
with their allies the Fuwaria, are the only persons in
that place who acknowledge Muscat sovereignty*
At this point a parenthesis is required*
Mr* Thomas, the 1v aair of Muscat, has always been deslr-
-ous of keeping the Amirs of Jaalan friendly to the
Sultan since he considered that without the xxtxXx
Amirs* support the sultan could not control sur*
Thus ( as it would appear from subsequent events, with-
-out the knowledge of the Sultan or the Council ) he
wrote a letter, of which the mlr act has produced a cop*
asking him to assist in recovering the fine from the
*ramah* The Amirs are using this letter as an
excuse for having originally come into Sur*
10* The Amirs of Jaalan, in reward for services
to saiyid xxxXX Toorki, Sultan of Muscat, were given in
from
1370 the personal right of freedom wX customs dues*
They have used this purely personal ri^ht as
an objection to a customs house of the Sultan's
at ur in the past^ they have now introduced their own
customs office at Alqah, which is on the Bu All side
of the inlet of Sur.
11* The question then arises what action is the
Muscat Government going to take to establish their
position
