the malice of the English By degrees, however, the results of the

were observed with great exactitude. Even trivial breaches of these
became almost unknown, and no difficulties of any sort arose, except
from a minor question of the use of the Trucial flag.
In March 1892 some Dibai subjects crossed over to the island of Sn
Ru Na'air, a possession of the Shaikh of Sharjah, and disaimed and
ejected from one of the fishing grounds some natives of Sirri Island, who
were then, on account of the connection of Sirri with Lingeh, legarded
