The effect of this overwhelming body of evidence
is to show clearly that the right to wreckage is
exercised by the inhabitants of the locality, subject
to the right of the chief to claim a share if" he sees
fit to do so. No evidence of Salim's ownership
can therefore be deduced from the fact of his
exercising such a right ; if Salim claimed and
exercised the chiefs right to a share, it would be
by virtue of Sheikh Sagar's permitting him to
occupv the island, and any income which he
derived from such a source would form part of the
revenue of the island, which he was permitted by
the sheikh to enjoy. It may also be remarked,
with reference to the terms of Salim's letter of the
23rd March, 1898 (Second German Memorandum, p. 21
Annex 6), that at that time Salim was acting as
Regent, and probably wrote the letter in that
capacity.
The German Government next refer to a version PP- 9. 10-
of the oxide agreement (Second German Memo- PP 35-37,
randum. Annex 7), dated the 6th April, 1898,
which was cancelled four days later, and for which
another agreement (Second German Memorandum,
Annex 8) was substituted. This first agreement
contained the words " So long as 1, my children,
and my brothers live, no one shall have a right to
raise objections to it." Thes^ words were omitted
from the second agreement, and it is suggested
that the use of such words clearly shows that
Salim was the owner of the island.
The position is thus as follows :—
An agreement is drawn up.
