WH-b reforero© to my letter Wo. 192, dated 3rd Juno 1920,. or
tb© subject of tb© diauute between/the SbalTchs of Kalba and
Pujatrab. r row b©g to forward Inorlfitlral a letter received from
Gbai^tb Sultan bin Saqar, Chief of Sharcab, with its enclosure
namely a 1 letter from Sballch Said bin Hamad, Chief of Kalba. Shadlfb
Sultan states in bis letter that the Sbaijch of Fujairah has
violated tb© neac© which was patched up by Saiyid Taimur and has
transgressed unon Kalba so strongly that the Shaikh of Kalba wants'
to leave his town and to come to Sharctah as stated in bis letter
to Shaikh Sultan.
When Shaikh Suljfcan bin Saqsr received the letter from the
Shaikh of Kalba the SenloT’ Waval Officer was on board the "Triad”
at Sharjah. Shaikh Sui_t a n bin Saqa^ wanted to cord his brother
Shaikh Muhammad bin Saqar with some of the inbabij^tarts of
Sbarsrah to Kalba In support of his cousin Shaikh Said, I prevented
him from doincr so because it is the diving season and British
subjects have got claims against the inhabitants for advances
paid by them for diving.steward if some of the inhabitants would 1||
now go to Kalba to fight the Shaikh of Fujairah some of them
shall certainly be killed (and it often happens that the killed
are divers) the merchants shall therefore lose their claims.
By chance the shamal wind blew and the Interpreter of the
■ I '.
man-of-war was left ashone T thus srot an opportunity and informed
the Senior Waval Officer of this case through his interpreter.
I am of opinion that subject to your approval, a reconciliation
should be effected between Kalba and Fujairah through on© of the
Waval Officers with the assistance of some of the Shaikhs of
Bokha or Debai as it was done between the. Shaikh of Ras-ul-Kbairaab
and Shaikh Muhammad bin Salih, 'Shaikh of Bai’ah, through
Commander Brandon In "Cyclamen* . This case was reported In my
letter Wo.203, dated 29th April 1922. Another case of this
nature I beg to quote took place in 1925 when Your Honour cam©
to the Trucial Coast 1r the month of Ramazan 1343 (=March-April’25)
