In continuation of my letter No 223 dated ord ;

July 1914,regarding my interview with Shaikh Pashi<l
fj
?
cm Ahmad,Chief of Umm—ul-Qaiwain,I beg most respec
fully to report to you that I.explained to Shaikh
t-
a-
shid,by way of friendly advice and amicable adjustment,
f
that in connection with the date-groves belonging t
his brother,Shaikh Nasir bin Ahmad,which are situat.
on the land near the spring,he should make an arrar
ment whereby Nasir may receive the products of his
date-groves for his livelihood.
Shaikh Pashi^d replied to me,firstly,that he
does not ■agree-to see that his brothwr should be near
|
any of the territories of Umm-ul-Qaiwain;and secondly,
that ever since Shaikh Naisr's departure from ITmm-u.l-
Qaiwain, thert-has been no one at his date-gropes td
look after them and to water them,and that in consec-
uence,much damage has been done to the date-grovesiand
o
ed
go
thirdly,that the water of the spring has been dimlit.ishlct

owing to damage,and all-the date-trees situated ne
the spring do not receive sufficient water.and it(t
y
r
-he
spring)requires repairs which will amount to a consi
derable sun:and futher that,under these circumstanc
i
there would be no end of correspondence if the date-
groves are restored to Shaikh Nasir while he can have
no access to them,and that it is desirable that a cer
es
tain sum may be fixed for payment to Shaikh Nasir ^
lieu of the dategroves.
