crowns, which Shaikh Sultan being unable to resist, he
coolly breaks with his new allies, reconciles himself with
Shaikh Muktoom, and replaces his son Suggur in the
government of Shargah.
A Joasmee boat of Ras-ool-Khyma is plundered by some law-
ess characters from Biddah, among whom is the old and
notorious delinquent, Jassim bin Jabbur Rugragee. Sal-
mm binNassir, governor of that place, having screened and
protected the latter for some years, is held responsible for
his acts.^ Two vessels of the squadron, accompanied by a
steam-frigate, visit his port, for the purpose of demanding
redress ; but it is not until eleven shot have been fired into
the place that he affords compliance with the requisition
made upon him. (No lives are lost, nor injury done on
shore.) Shaikh Abdool Azeez usurps authority over his
brother, Humaid, and seizes the fort of Eiman.
1842-43 Shaikh Abdoolia bin Rashid, of Amulgavine, persisting, con-
trary to treaty, in erecting and renewing the defences of
his town, in opposition to the repeated remonstrances of the
Resident, upon the representations of Shaikh Sultan bin
Suggur, and refusing positively to act up to his agreement,
he is at length told, that unless he consents to destroy
what has been built or added subsequent to the conclusion
of the peace between him and the Joasmee Chief, he will
be considered an enemy, and treated accordingly : this had
the desired effect; but previous to the total demolition of
the works. Shaikh Sultan bin Suggur consenting to their
remaining in existence, the demands of the British Go
vernment are foregone. Previous to this just exercise of
power, both parties had been informed that on the Amul-
gavine Shaikh acting up to his engagement, he would be
at liberty to raise what defences he pleased, and that the
treaty would thenceforward be considered null and void
The Maritime Truce is established, for the extended period*
of ten years.
