BOO PELASA (DEBATE).
T he secession of the Boo Felasa branch, under Obed bin Syud and
a. d. 1834 Muktoom bin Butye, from the body of the Beni-
yas Iribe at Aboothabee, in which originated
the war between the latter and the Joasmees; its settlement at Debaye,
and existence thenceforth in virtual independence! require that its
subsequent history and proceedings should be separately treated, as
being totally unconnected with that of the main tribe, with which it
was frequently engaged in hostilities. Suddenly freed from the control
of a firm and vigorous chief, on the establishment of peace between the
great lival tribes, parties of the Boo Felasa commenced depreda
tions upon the general trade of the Gulf, and had committed the
acts of piracy below detailed before measures could be taken to check
them :—
^ le plunder of a Nabend Buteel by the Debaye fleet,
^ncl. The attack and plunder of a Muskat vessel, and murder of five
of the crew, by a Debaye boat, under the command of Abdool Mowajea,
having with him twelve men.
3^. I he plunder of a village on the Coast of Batinah, not far from
i uskat, and the attack and plunder of a Nabend Buggarah by a
Debaye boat, under Syf binDulmooj.
Ath. The attack and seizure of a boat belonging to Bahrein, by
a boat under the command of Abdoolla bin Buddur, inhabitant of
Debaye.
In the last case, the Chief of Bahrein adopted his own means of
obtaining redress ; and placing an embargo on all Debaye boats present
at the time in that harbour, further compelled a merchant of that town,
ien on the island, to pay to the injured party the sum of 300 dollars in
ot the amount plundered by his countrymen.
v . J n ^ c e*sity for interference on our part in the first case was also
nertv i i ^ V 6 re ^ ease ^ le Nakhoda, and the restoration of the pro-
