pearl boats are recalled, but mutual restitution of the
captured property being made, peace is restored, and the
fishery resumed.
Contrary to his engagements and promises, Shaikh Kha-
leefa opens a friendly correspondence with the Egypto-
Wahabee Agent in Oman, Syud bin Mootluk. He further,
in direct opposition to all his pledges, and in pursuance of
the policy of that functionary, proceeds in person to the
attack of the Naeem tribes of Brymee (who had been
encouraged by the British Government to maintain their
independence against the invaders), but is repulsed. He
is held responsible therefore by the British authority for
the property plundered by them.
A misunderstanding arises between Aboothabee and Debaye
in consequence of some aggressions at sea, but is amicably
adjusted through the interference of the British authority.
A piracy is committed by some of the Monasir and Howamil
tribes under the authority of Khaleefa bin Shakboot, upon
a Bahrein boat. That chief, upon the circumstance being
brought to his notice, adopts the most vigorous measures to
punish the delinquents.
It was proposed to Khaleefa bin Shakboot to become a party
to a truce forbidding all aggressions and hostilities by land.
He declines.
Shaikh Khaleefa visits Debaye, and a peace is concluded
between him and the chief of that place, an arrangement
offensive to the Joasmees.
Esai bin Tarif invites Shaikh Khaleefa to join the cause of
Mahomed bin Khaleefa and his colleagues against Shaikh
Abdoolla bin Ahmed of Bahrein. He declines doing so
without the permission of the British Government.
Shakboot, the brother of Khaleefa, makes a foray into the
territories of the Joasmees and their allies, and inflicts
much injury.
A hollow treaty of peace is entered into between the Beniyas
and Joasmees, but is soon violated by Khaleefa, who, at
the instigation probably of the Shaikh of Debaye, makes a
foray upon the Bedouin allies of the Joasmees.
