memoranda
Please refer to your confidential memorandum No. C/228-
6/3 (B) dated the 10th March 1943.
2. Vv ellln ^ton aircraft i It seems to me that the P.A.F.
at Sharjah have not in the past sufficiently recognised the
importance in their own future interests of giving promnt
and generous rev/ards for assistance rendered after the occur
rence of accidents, I have today seen Squadron-Leader Patrick
and have emphasised to him the importance of ensuring he^p for
the future by the grant of generous rewards for assistance
given in the present. I have also drawn his attention to
the importance of his consulting the Political authorities
in these matters.

3. I have advised him, as soon as salvage of the wrecked
Wellington is completed, to send the Shaikh of Fujairah a
reward of Hs. 1000/-. I have advised him also to consult
you in regard to the wording of the letter which accompanies
the reward and T have said that the letter with the money
should be delivered through you. The money should, I suggest,
be sent to the Shaikh in payment of the services rendered
by the guards, etc., appointed by him. It might be a good
thing, when you send the letter and the money to the lhaikh,
to let it be known what amount is being paid so that, if
the Shaikh keeps the money for himself, his followers will
know that it is the Shaikh and not the H .A .F. who has been ^
\ ungenerous. This detail, however, I leave to your discretion.
If, after hearing details of the services rendered by the
/ from Shaikh of Fujairah and his guards you consider Is. 1000/-
funds insufficient, you should still accept that amount from the
whic I R .A .F. and add to it/any amount up to Rs. 1000/- that you
am in a consider suitable. The whole amount can then be sent to
position the Shaikh with a suitable letter acknowledging on behalf
to pro- of the British Government his good services,
vide.
4. I send herewith a sum of Rs. 200/- for payment to
your servant Mohammad bin Salim in recognition of the excellent
services rendered by him. The sum of Rs 120/- which you have
paid from your private purse should be recovered from the
R .A .F.
5. 'ilonr-eltii aircraft ; Please pay to Wohammad bin Lahij
a further sum of R 100/- in recognition of the assistance
given by him at the beginning of February. Rs. 50/- should
also be given to Saif bin Qarad for the use of his camel.
*
6. I send herewith a sum of Rs. 600/- to be utilised as
follows
(1) Rs. 350/- to be distributed as specified above.
(2) Rs. 30/- to reimburse yourself for the money given
to Mohammad bin Lahij, his father and his brother.
