a. d . 1820 Ras-ool-Khyma is garrisoned by a detachment of British
troops, which is, however, removed to Kishm on 18th July,
when the defences are dismantled, and destroyed.
Shaikh Sultan bin Suggur claims general supremacy over all
the Joasmee ports. The British Government recognise the
assumption of this authority on his part in as far only as it
is acknowledged and obeyed by the several chiefs. Ejman
in the first instance refuses, but subsequently tenders
allegiance to him.
The Shaikh of Ramse is deposed by Shaikh Sultan bin Sug
gur, and succeeded by Mahomed Abdool Rahman, the son
of a former Shaikh, who had been removed by Hussain bin
Ali (the Wahabee vicegerent).
Shaikh Guzeeb bin Ahmed, of Jazirat-ool-Hamrah, dies, and
is succeeded by Shaikh Mahzem bin Abdool Rahman ;
who, dying, is succeeded by his son, Mahomed ; who,
giving umbrage to the Joasmee Chief, is removed by him,
and Ahmed bin Abdoolla established in his room.
A piracy, attended with cruelty, is committed by two Shargah
boats upon a

belonging to Socotra. A strict
watch being kept, in order to seize them on their return,
one is abandoned by its crew at Charrak, and the other
takes refuge at Muttra, where, having remained unmolested
for several months, no further steps are taken regarding it.
The Joasmee Chief opens a communication with the Wa-

Owing to the intriguing and faithless conduct of the Joasmee
Chief, hostilities arise between him and Shaikh Tahnoon
of Aboothabee, and are the occasion of various irregulari
ties. An amicable adjustment is effected in October,
through the influence of the Imaum.

Hostilities again break out between the Joasmees and Beni-
yas, the latter having seized Debaye ; but a peace is soon
concluded.
A most atrocious and cruel piracy is committed by a Joas
mee boat, under one Mooslim bin Rashid, upon a Sohar
boat, which, after plundering, he scuttles. The Resident
remonstrates, and Mooslim, with the greater part of his
crew, are made prisoners, after a sharp action, by a boat
