H.M* S.“TRIAD®,
14th November 1927*
No. 44* 0.
Sir,
I have the honour to inform you that H.M.S.“TRIAD*
arrived at Glaiat Eaiba on the afternoon of 10th November.
2. Sheikh Said bin Hamad at once came onboard and
informed me that although a state of war still existed
between him and A1 Fujairah, there had been no fighting
for the previous 10 days, both parties suffering from
exhaustion.
I gathered from him that the casualties during
the fighting had not been so heavy as generally reported.
Fujairah had lost about 7 killed and some wounded and
Kalba wounded only.
He was most anxious for peace.
3. I sent a letter to A1 Fujairah (Enclosure No.l)
and received a reply from him on 11th November (Enel: No.2).
On the afternoon of the same day the Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
Agent and Khan Sahib Mohamed bin Salem, my Interpreter,
interviewed A1 Fujairah and reaffirmed my demand that a
plenipotentiary should be sent on board if the Sheikh was
unable to come off in person.
To this Fujairah: demurred and negotiations were
temporarily broken off.
4. At sunrise I repeated my demand through the
Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. Agent and this time the Sheikh assented and next
day sent on board a duly authorised representative and
one of his councillors (Enclosure No.3).
I then discussed terms with both parties and
finally a Treaty (Enclosure No.4) was agreed to and signed.
5. I considered it desitable also to warn both
Sheikhs as to the consequences of future disregard of the
terms of the Treaty (Enclosure No.5).
6. I should like once again to emphasise the good
work done by Khan Bahadur Isa and my Interpreter. Both
have been invaluable to me and have spared neither time
nor trouble to bring the negotiations to a successful
conclusion.
I have the honour to be.
Sir,
lour obedient
Senior Naval Officer,
Persian Gfulf.
