, and plunder
her to aconsiderable amount, and kill five of her crew. They
escape from the Joasmee boats sent in pursuit, and return
in safety to Aboothabee. The Muskat authorities receive
the explanation offered by the Beniyas, and remove the
necessity for any interference on the part of the Resident.
The blockade is raised, and a peace effected, through the me
diation of the Shaikh of Lingah.
1833-34 Mutual aggressions are committed by the Beniyas and
Joasmees ; their boats are in consequence withdrawn from
the pearl banks. Shaikh Khaleefa, at the earnest solicita
tion of his tribe, sends his father Shakboot to conclude a
peace ; one of the conditions is that the Debaye people
shall be henceforth under the authority of the Joasmees.
1834 Some of the Soodan of Aboothabee attack a Buteel belonging
to Muttrah, and plunder her of property to the amount of
1,000 dollars. The appearance of a squadron before
Aboothabee induces Shaikh Khaleefa to comply with the
requisitions of the British authorities for reparation.
1835 The Beniyas break out into open and avowed piracy. They
commit the most daring depredations, attended with the
greatest cruelty. All the available vessels of war of the

very shortly put to flight, with the loss of many killed.
Full redress is demanded and obtained from the Shaikh of
Aboothabee. The two chief pirates are surrendered, and
sent to Bombay for trial. The one was convicted and
transported for life, the other, against whom unfortunately
no prosecution could be sustained, was returned, to be hand
ed over to the Joasmee Chief, but effected his escape from
the vessel off Shargah, and swam to the shore, four miles
distant.
