4p The Shaikh has a salute of 3 guns, and as this
salute is given especially for cells on H.id. Ships it
v/ould make the punishment fit the crime if his guns were
cancelled. Probably a threat to that purpose would
make him toe the line, and have a good effect on the rest
of the Trucial Coast» If he proved oodurate and did
not toe the line, then of course his guns would be taken
away. But is there such a procedure as temporary
forfeit of guns ? I mean, if he should prove obaurat^
it would give me much more hola on the Shaikh to inform
him that his guns hao been temporarily forfeited pending
a change of heart on his part, than if I had to tell him
that his guns were gone for good. In the former case
I could still dangle a carrot in front of the Shaikh’s
nose, in the latter there would be no carrot to dangle,
5 # Could you please let me have some ajdcf&xxjs:
information on this point and I will put in an official
letter on the subject.
Yours sincerely,
