The only event of importance which occurred in Shamailiyah between Rising of tLe

Sultan-bin-Saqar was a rising, in 1855, of the Shihuh in the neighbourhood Dibah, 1855.
of Dibah. Mashari, son of Shaikh Ibrahim of Kas-al-Khaimah and
grandson of Shaikh Sultan himself, having been appointed ruler over
Dibah, immediately"', put forth his hand to oppress the neighbour
ing Shihuh, probably those of Bai'ah, and was waylaid and murdered in
consequence by members of that tribe on a journey from Dibah to llas-al-
Khaimah. This extreme step, which was not taken by the Shihuh
until their appeals to Shaikhs Sultan and Ibrahim against Mashari
had been rejected, led to a general war between the

reason to think that the whole of Shamailiyah at this time rose in
insurrection and that it was not recovered until after the death of Knalid;
but this is a matter of conjecture rather than of certainty.

Some time after this, Salim, the brother and successor of Khalid. sent
a force to Dibah for the purpose of re-conquering all Shamailiyat, or so
much of the district as was not at the time submissive to his authority ; but
the Sharqiyin, who had acquired a taste for independence, comH'ned under
the leadership of the headman of Fujairah to oppose the attempt and
formed an alliance with the Shihuh under Salih -bin- Muhammad, Shaikh
of Bai'ah, who were regarded as subjects of Masqat. In the result the
Qasimi force wa : besieged in Dibah by the Sharqiyin and Shihuh; and
Shaikh Salim, being unable to send reinforcements ly land from Sharjah,
as the passes through the hills were held by the Shihuh, deputed one of
his brothers to make a friendly settlement. The mission was a success;
the Sharqiyin submitted and promised to pay tribute.
