• lUi the higheet reopeot I beg to represent that I have learnt
that Sheikh Sagar bin Khalid in pursuance of the advice of the
Britloh Oovcrnment has arranged that Kasaan bin All Ganaiyeh, should
the German Firm ask him to ship the oxide which is lying on the
beach of the island and ready for ohipaent, should be permitted to
ship it on specific conditions. Seeing that I was originally a
partner in the said concession, I have thought it necessary to make
the following representation to you. It is now ten years since the
commencement of the lease, and in the beginning it was agreed between
ua partners that no sale or transaction should be coanleted without
consultation with all? and in this past period Haji Hassan bin Ali
Samaiyeh extracted a large amount of oxide from the xaines of Abu
usa Island, and he hai been always accumulating it against the
a
time that he might find^purchaser, so that the oxide sight be ready
for sale. Thus I opine that frora the oonasenoement up till now he
has sold probably 3000 tons and now there is probably available
In the island some 6000 tons or more, r#hich they have extracted
from the mines a long time since, out of that is the quantity which
as mentioned above they have brought down to the sea shore for
shipment by Geman Ship? I have not ceased to ask hln .(Hassan)
to render an account but have not obtained It, and Kajl Hassan has
not given anyone anything whatever? and I fear that by reason of
the termination of the oonceseion it is orobable that Hajl Hassan
will put the whole of this oxide to his own credit and seeing that
this oxide which is available there was extracted before the inci
dence of Hassan ' s agreement with V-onokhaus which I did not agree to,
find in any case previous to the annuls nt of the deed of lease by
Sheikh Sagar, I consider myself entitled to my share in all the
oxide
