,
To— Shaikh Saggar-bin-Khaled, Chief of Shargah.
With reference to the conversation I had with Your Honour at our last
meeting when I informed you of Government’s wishes regarding the erection of
a lighthouse for the guidance of ships on your Island of Tamb, to which measure
vou were good enough to express your ready concurrence, I now have the honour
to inform you that the component parts of the iron work of the Tower (minaret)
will arrive by S.S. Griqua between 14th and 16th October, that is in
about IB days, and will be landed on the north side of the Island to await the
building of the foundations.
I beg that you will warn your representative on the Island to show civility
and give any help he can on your behalf.
It is necessary to mention that I called at Tamb during my last voyage and
interviewed the custodian of your flag. It is true that he did possess your flag,
but he had no rope to hoist it with. I told him to ask you for some, but he may
not have done so. I have so often warned you of the importance of keeping
vour fla 0, flying, hut vou do not give heed; now, at all events this Island will be
preserved for you by the mere presence of the lighthouse, so you will have no
anxiety; still it is always advisable for your own good name and the dignity of
the Jowasim, that you keep your flag in order, and fly it when ships pass. I
beg that you will acknowledge receipt of this letter.
May you he preserved.
