attack on Falai; also that the attendants captured with the Shaikh of
Umm al-Qaiwain had been sent by boat to Abu Dhabi,—an act whioh
might reasonably be construed as a breach of the maritime peace. With
much difficulty and after a week's negotiations, the Shaikh of Sharjah
being employed as an intermediary, Major Cox succeeded in arranging
for the unconditional release of Shaikh Rashid, whose appearance "when
be reached the Lawrence " bore witness to a good deal of physical and
mental suffering. After this, in accordance with a friendly understand
ing that the Resident should, on Umm-al-Qaiwain being set at liberty,
mediate between him and the other chiefs, two days were devoted bv
Major Cox to tedious discussions on shore; in these the Shaikh of
Sharjah appeared for himself and for 'Ajman, and the Shaikh of Dibai
for himself and for Abu Dhabi. The result was a written settlement of
all differences by which, it was hoped, general peace might be
secured for some time to come. On the conclusion of the negotiations
Shaikh Rashid was landed at Umm-al-Qaiwain, where he w T as received
by his subjects with many rejoicings. He seemed grateful for his rescue,
and he afterwards presented a thank-offering to the Resident in the shape
of a well-bred camel and a young horse, both of which were accepted on
behalf of Government.
