The Subehi.
In 1886 the Subehi were released from the ’Abdali’s
control.
In the early part of the year the ’Abdalf showed a
disposition to annoy the Subehis, and, by posting rnen at Am
Rija, endeavoured to maintain a hold on the Rijai country
but, on the representation of the Resident, the men were
withdrawn. The Sultan also solicited assistance in arms
and ammunition with the object of regaining his position
with the Subehis, but the Resident reminded him that the
Subehis had only spared his garrisons in 1886 on the under
standing that his suzerainty over them should cease : he
might endeavour to conciliate them, but must not expect
assistance in coercing them.
There were several thefts of camels from British limits
by the Buremi and Mansuri sub-tribes of the Subehf, one
being occasioned by the policy of reduced expenditure in
presents and entertainments to the tribes : and the stipend
of the Mansuri was suspended for a time. Bestitution was
obtained in each case.
The Dubenf Shaikh died on 6th July 1888 and was suc
ceeded by his brother Mahomed bin Darwish, to whom pay
ment of the stipend of dollars 42 per annum was sanctioned
by Government Resolution No. 7876, Political Department,
dated 30th November 1888.
In January 1889 Shaikh Mahomed bin Darwish the
Dubenf died and was succeeded by his brother Shaikh Hassan
bin Imad, the usual annual stipend being continued to him.
The Subehfs plundered several caravans during the year
and a desultory strife was maintained with the ’Abdalf. Seve
ral Shaikhs visited Aden and were given presents.
The Subehfs continued to plunder during the following
189091 year. Several of the sub-tribes had their
stipends stopped. Protectorate treaties were
signed at Aden by the Atiffs and Barhimfs.
The feud with the ’Abdalf continued. During this year
the Barhimf fixed the rates they would levy for salvage.
