Isa said he was going to Ras al Khaimah as soon
as he was well enough to travel and would urge the Sheikh
to replace the flagstaff at Tunb* He will also collect any
information that he can, and if there is anything to report
on his return he will make the signal n I am ready’* to
H•Bu.S • BUHFOHD as he has dona on prewtous occasions § I
told him that as soon as practicable after receipt of this
signal a sloop will wlslt him to collect his report* (It is
not anticipated that the signal will be nsde before 15th
March).
I think it has so happened that H.r .3* BILSFORD
has visited Sharjah more fre uently than have other sloops
lately, and X have therefore seen a good deal of Isa* In my
opinion the time la rapidly approaching when consideration
will have to be given aa to whether the benefits we obtain
from Isa’s undoubted personality, prestige and power on the
Truoial Coast will not be lost through hia failing health
preventing the exploitation of those qualities*
WgDBESDAY » 6TH MARCH *
Leaving Sharjah at 0715 ws anchored off iLJman
