107. In 1910 when a reconciliation was made, between the Shaikhs of Um-el-
Kowein and Abu Dhabi, through the mediation of the Shaikh of Debai, an agree
ment was concluded between the above Shaikhs, providing for joint action in the
matter of the Beni Katb. Recently, however, the Shaikh of Abu Dhabi entered
into another agreement with Abdullah-bin-Ali, the headman of the Beni Katb,
which to the Shaikhs of Debai and Um-el-Kowein appeared to be in contravention
of the agreement of 1910. The Shaikh of Debai, therefore, deputed his Vizier,
Shaikh Buti-bin-Rashid, to Abu Dhabi to ascertain the nature of the agreement; the
latter finding it innocuous took the opportunity to renew the former agreement by
making a substantial compact, whereby each of the Shaikhs can now rely on the
other in time of need.
