8. I wae much impressed “by the "ceremonial" disjiayed hy
all ships alongside and hy the fact that, although in a closed
car, er^ry sailor passed observed me and saluted. Quite a
smart Guard was paraded at the base.
9. I understand that no further jetties, beyond the five
at present completed, are contemplated. Water is or has been

in the manner in which our defects were completed, and also to
express my gratitude for the expeditious way in which our
supplementary list was dealt with. Nothing seemed to be too
much trouble.
24. It seeme that the competition between the shaiteh. of
Sharjah and Debai to get the p^i ia
territory has been very keen. The Shaikh of 1 ®
understood to hare offered to more the r“8t house to Deb si
free of charge, while the Shaikh of Sharjah countered by
offering to dredge his lagoon, also for nothing.
26. I am informed that the Shaikh of Shihuh and a
large number of his supporters come from the territory south
of Khassab, and that they rely largely for fish on the
facilities granted to them by the iali of Khassab. It is
suggested that should oressure by the Sultan ever be required,
Hie Hi^ness could do so through this medium. I also gather
that the Weli is considerably respected in the area.
