A.C.,
I beg to report that two da|fs after I tool
leave of your Honour and proceeded to Rasel-Khai^eh,
reports were received there from Sha^aah and Unm-ul-
Qaiwain that before any guns were fired on the day
when your Honour and the men-of-war remained off the
town of Jmm-ul-Oaiwain,the Shaikh of that place lent
i
his nephew, nmmed Hamad bin Ibrahim, to the Shaikhs of
Sharqah and Pibai,asking them to afford him assistance
and to come to Umm-ul-Qaiwain. The Shaikh of "nibal had
come to Sharqah at nigh-time to hold a consultation as
regards assisting the Shaikh of Urpm-ul-faiwain,but the
latter sent a messenger on the same night to both the
f,
Shaikhs f stating that the men-of-war fired at TJ^m-ul-
^aiwain and that he paid the amount demanded from him.
and further that there was no need of their assistance
as the men-of-war have left. -
It has been ascertained by me,from, reports,that
1
on Hamad bin Ibrahim's return from Sharqah to U^m-ul
Qaiwain,the Shaikhs of Sharqah and "Hibai recommended
to him to tell the Shaikh of Umm-ul-Qaiwain that the
action taken by thel men-of-war was serious and could
not be overlooked,and that he should write an "Jstlsh-
had"(Testimony) in connection with the incident
send the same to them so that they may seal it
that he should send it to the G-over>nment of Indial.
As regards the request made by the Shaikh of
