From - Th© Rqb idQncy Agent, Shargali
he Hon’bio Lt-Colonel G.G.Crosthwalte, C.B.E.,
Political Resident, Persian Gulf.
No.295 Dated 19th August 1925.
A.C.
I beg lo forward herewith a letter received from Shaikh
Said bin Hamad the Shaikh of Halim, who helped in the case
of Hamad bin Abdullah, chief of Fujairah by giving advice to
ohe said Hamad to embark R.I.M.S. w Lawrence rt to interview
the H©n ole the Political Resident. The purport of Shaikh
Said’s letter is that after the men-of-war bombarded Shaikh
Hamad s house and his sailing boat was taken in the*. Kb or
Fakkan and Shaikh Said'bin Hamad brought Rs.1500 to the
Hon’ble the Polit ical Res 1 dent ,«v when the Font ble the
Political Resident left the Khor Fakkan Hamad bin Abdullah
VlViA/L is b
na° borne enmity towardsyShaikh Said and had began encroaching,
upon him such as demolishing the Shaikh’s fort, the setting
fire to some houses in Kalba and burying a well from which the
people of Kalba and others were drawing water: Hamad, the
Shaikh says, continually threatens him with doing.bad deeds
in Kalba ani that for tires© behaviours of the said Hamad
the Shaikh will find-it difficult td show his obedience
and submission towards the British Government such as going
on board H.F.S. men-of-war when they will call at Kalba.
I have the honour to state that all which are written
in Shaikh Said’s letter have happened through the mischief of
Hamad bin Abdullah the Headman of Fujairah as it is reported
to roe by some inhabliana of Fujairah Buch" as Persian subjects
and others.
Shaikh Said is^sensible man and renders complete assistance
in all matters that take place ±xki in his district and
whatever he is asked to do he does same immediately. Hamad
bin Abdullah the Headman of Fujairah, as you are aware, is '
obstinate and his policy is not good.
If you deem it advisable you may kindly write a letter to
Hamad bin Abdullah to stop mischief against Shaikh Said, the
Shaikh of Kalba; it rests upon your decision.
