takes place in these parts• Two years ago you were informed
of the injury arising from Wadijqor. H 0 action has been
observed on the part of the Government• The subjects are
suffering. The Government must protect them and must keep
their property safe from any harm. A raid took place a week
ago when the messenger of Wali of Shinas, who is*freeborn
man of B e ni Hadrami of Samail was kidnapped. This is of
course separate from the plunder of camels which took place
during this month* The total number of persons kidnapped
during this month and that of the last month is 5 and about
15 camels were plundered. The event extends and at all
costs we cannot help but do something to protect the subjects.
As the circumstances cannot at present be looked into, unless

necessary for us to proceed to Ras-al-Khaima to discusj the

of the way with a view to securing the subjects which are
sold like sheep. I pray for myself to be successful in
settling^probleras and as there are some more cases concerning
these parts to be dealt with in Ihibai and Sharqa, my tour will

period of one month. I shall depute in Sahar as a Representative
