congratulate them on the sensible way in which, they had
composed their differences, as a result of v.hich the town
was now enjoying period of peace and quiet which it had not

Friday, of this continued satisfactory state of affairs*

paramount oheiKh of that section* X asKed these two heiKhs
to stay behind when others had gone, and in the presence of
the Wall & sited them to try and compose their differences*
As the cause of the quarrel between the two is a serious

it may serve to Keep them quiet for the time being* lerhape
later on the Council might try its hand at composing the
feud*
4* The visit of the Sub-Assistant Surgeon, whom I had
taxen with us with the object of showing the people of Sur
that we tooK a friendly interest in them, and that they
need not always associate our visits with bos&ardments and
such liKe, was a distinct success* He treated some two
hundred cases during the three daye he was there*
5* *e lei t Sur at 11 A*lf* on the 10th* .e had intended
visiting Khor Jerama, but ware unable to do so owing to the
threat of more bad weather, and reached Muscat after another

6* Since it is more or less certain that the sur problem
will not be solved without the exercise of force, or the
threat of it by His Majesty's Government - the Muscat state

be instructive to study briefly the history of the past
bombardments stc at Sur*
