Sir,
7. In accordance with the Commander-in-Ghief’s directicn
I embarked Mr. Kinnersley and his son. of the Golden Valley
Ochre & Oxide Go. Ltd., Wick, near Bristol, for passage to
Bu Musa and Sharjah. They were anxious also to visit
Little Tunb, hut time did not permit of this.
8. I accompanied them ashore at Bu Musa where
they took samples of red oxide from one dump and two
mines, now unv/orked and professed themselves well satisfied
with ”6he result of their tests. On return to England they
propose to take steps to work the mines and made
arrangements with the Sheikh of Sharjah to this effect.
I 9. I received,of Sharjah onboard and accorded
1 him the customary salute of S guns. As, I gather, is
also customary he requested supplies of quinine and
powerful purgative pills. After returning his call I
sailed for A1 Ajman.
12. The Sheikh of A1 Ajman called on me and v/as sal
uted with 3 guns. He wished me to express his gratitude to
the Senior Naval Officer, Persian Gulf‘for the new battery
for his car. I offered the services of a rating to fit and
test the battery, but the work was carried out by lsa*s
chauffeur.
call
13. The return/was not without its perils. The
Sheikh kindly offered horses to take us to the Palace -
I pictured a stately procession for a short distance.
Accompanied by my First Lieutenant we were rapidly dis
illusioned as the mile ride was taken at the gallop, our
escort throughout the journey encouraging the steeas to
unseat us.
Isa T s car was offered to us for the return
\ journey and though I would have preferred this to bareback
riding, I felt British prestige demanded that we should not
appear unnerved. This journey was even wilder, but v/as
admired.
15. I proceeded to Bu Musa for the night in order to
land bathing parties I left the following morning
for Basidu. The ,f Nothing to report" signal v/as hoisted at
Tunb as we passed.
