the Yafaf, and an inquiry, conducted by the Mansabs of the two
tribes, eventually led to an adjustment of all matters in
dispute.
In 1882 it was intended to send a part of the Aden Troop
into the Lower Yafaf country, the Sultan being favourable to
such visit; but, meanwhile, a change of Residents took place
and the contemplated visit was not paid.
