them named Karbalai 'All Isfahan! and the name of the
other I was not able to get. They crossed the Batinah
and then came to the Truclal Coast. They arrived at
Sharjah about three months ago and were working as coolies.
As they were not able to earn for their living they sold
their two rifles to two Iranian shop keepers named
Muhammad Sa 1 id Abdullah and Muhammad Sa*id Abdul Ghafur,
who also work as refuelling coolies for the Agent of the
Anglo-Iranian Oil Company at Sharjah, for Rs. 41/- including
a bag Ckhurj) and an old carpet. The two Iranian shop
keepers gave the rifles to a dallal named Muhammad bin
Ubaid al Aryan who sold the rifles to Abdullah bin Faris,
the Secretary of the Shaikh of Sharjah for Rs. 38/-. The
two Amniyah deserters divided the money between them.
Karbalai Ali Isfahani remained at Sharjsb and the other
went to the Batinah. Muhammad Abbas knows Karbalai Ali
in person. He met him at Sharjah and was speaking to
him very friendly. Karbalai Ali then asked Muhammad Abbas
if he could take him to Iran and get him pardon. Muhammad
Abbas promised to get him pardon provided he got back his
rifle. Karbalai Ali, accompanied by Muhammad Abbas, went
to an Iranian merchant by name Shaikh Ghulam Abbas Ansari
and requested him if he could speak to Abdullah bin Far is
and get back the rifle from him. Abdullah bin Faris returned
the rifle of Karbalai Ali and got his money. Muhammad Abbas
did not speak anything about the rifles or the deserted
Amniyahs except that he was trying to help Karbalai Ali.
During his stay at Hira, he paid frequent visits to
Dubai and Sharjah and was calling on Iranian merchants in
their shops and tactfully extracting from them about their
friends and customers on the Iranian Coast and smugglers
activities.
