the Resident valuable assistance in the matter of one Hassan, ex-Shaikn o
Khassab, who after defying the authority of the Muscat State Adminis
tration Report for 1931—had been allowed to proceed to Debai (Horn Muscat
where he had been in detention) under charge of the Shaikh that place.
Hassan broke his parole and slipped away to Khassab. H.M.S. Shore!
nrnceeded to the vicinity and, with the assistance of the Shaikh ot Debni,
succeeded in getting Hassan removed from this danger spot to Bokha, between
Khassab and Debai. The Resident brought further pressure to bear on the
Shaikh of Debai who got Hassan back. An incident which might well have
lead to a recrudescence of serious trouble at Khassab, thus ended satisfactorily.
Hassan was finally returned to Muscat.

Vice-Admiral M. E. Dunbar-Nasmith, V.C., C.B., visited Shargah and Deba .
