The Residency Agent, Sliarcak, to Lieutenant-Colonel Talbot.
September 25, 1892.
WITH reference to your letter dated the 25tli ultimo, I proceeded to Ras-ul-Kbaimuh and
obtained an answer from the Chief of that place, which is inclosed herewith.
From what I heard from people at Ras-ul-Khaimah, it appears to me that Salim-ul-Badi has
no more slaves left with him, but he has nine freed slaves employed as the crew of his boat; the
hands short in the crew of this boat have been engaged at Ras-ul-Khaimah. When Salim-ul-Badi
sailed towards the Katr coast, all the crew of his boat were slaves, but he took some of the natives
of Ras-ul-Khaimah to replace those whom he sold. As to the eight slaves who were seen by my
Munshi in Salim-ul-Badi's house at Khor Fakan, when Salim-ul-Badi came to Ras-ul-Khaimah he
sent his boat to Khor Fakan, and it brought eight male and one female slaves to Ras-ul-Khaimah k
Of these he took eight male slaves with him on his voyage, said to be, tor Bussorah, and left the
female slave at Ras-ul-Khaimah. The Chief of Ras-ul-Khaimah, on being questioned by me
about these eight slaves, said he did not know anything, and did not inquire about Salim-ul-Badi's
affairs. I suppose these eight slaves will be taken by himself or sent from some other place for
ftale to Katr, because the people of Ras-ul-Khaimah heard from him that slaves are dear there.
