14. By six o'oloolc there was no sign of the Shaikh
paying so H.M,S. ,, Oyolamen n was warped round so as to get her
with
broadside on to the shore, and deliberate fire bx the fore
castle 4 inch gun was opened on the Tower furthest from the
Town. After firing a few rounds the Tower fell and was
totally demolished, and a pause was made in the firing. There
was no sign of any boat coming off so firing was resumed at
the 52nd Tower. A few rounds knocked the front part of this
off, and left the back half standing as sort of archj another
round or two would have demolished it« as it was then getting
dark, and moreover the ship had swung a little and the gun
could no longer be trained on the tower firing was stopped.
15. At about 9 o # clock the Shaikh sent off an emissary
saying that he was obedient to the orders of government and
would do whatever was required. I asked the emissary if he
had brought the ws.1000/- fine and he said no, but would go
ana fetch it. Me did so and returned with it in cash at
about 11 p.m.. I then told him that ordinarily I should have
required the Shaikh to come off and make his apology himself
but as Ramzan had begun that night I would dispense with this
formality. I gathered from the emissary that he and other
notables had endeavoured to persuade the Shaikh to pay the
fine but he had refused* further that the Shaikh never would
listen to advice and was most pig headed and obstinate - and
I gathered highly unpopular.

of the 10th,, while M.M.S."Oyclamen" left for Shargah, to drop
