his personal relations with British officers Shaikh Gaqar always
showed himself friendly and well-disposed ; but, from indolence, he was
sometimes remiss in enforcing the just claims of British subjects ; and,
on the occurrence of internal difficulties in his state, he manifested
too great a disposition to rely on the help of the British Resi
dency, instead of grappling with them himeelf. In 190i the general
dissatisfaction of his subjects with his rule found expression in a plot to
depose Shaikh Saqar in favour of his uncle, the ex-Shaikh Salim ; but
timely information enabled Shaikh Saqar to frustrate the intrigue and
Muhammad-bin- Khadim, one of the chief conspirators, was obliged, jon
escaping from custody, to seek refuge at Umm-al-Qaiwain. The direct
administration of the town of Sharjah was held, until his death about
1906 by Shaikh Saqar's son Kashid,—a young man who in character
resembled his father; and Ras-al-Khaimah was in 1907 still governed by
Khalid, the only son then surviving of the Shaikh.

ANNEXURU No. 2.—INTERNAL HISTORY OF TliE ABU
DHABI PRINCIPALITY.

separate notice to the internal affairs of the Abu Dhabi principality, of
which the external history has been given in the preceding chaptei.
Early history, 1781-1818.
The foundation of the town of Abu Dhabi is ascribed to the year
1761. The surrounding country was then alleady occupie jv
Bani Yas,— a land-faring Bedouin tribe who, until the accidental discovery
of water at the site ^of Abu Dhabi town, where a small village ot 2U
houses now sprang tip, had not apparently a singe peimanen
