Hamad bin Paisal,
Wall of Sahar.
To
Council of Minister*,
Muscat*
Salaams,
I am always informing you of the plunder which
takes place in these parts• Two years ago you were informed
of the injury arising from Wadijqor. H 0 action has been
observed on the part of the Government• The subjects are
suffering. The Government must protect them and must keep
their property safe from any harm. A raid took place a week
ago when the messenger of Wali of Shinas, who is*freeborn
man of B e ni Hadrami of Samail was kidnapped. This is of
course separate from the plunder of camels which took place
during this month* The total number of persons kidnapped
during this month and that of the last month is 5 and about
15 camels were plundered. The event extends and at all
costs we cannot help but do something to protect the subjects.
As the circumstances cannot at present be looked into, unless
the Wadi of Qor is obstructed, the events have proved
necessary for us to proceed to Ras-al-Khaima to discusj the
matter with Shaikh Sultan bin Salim and confer with him on
a certain point consonant with the welfare of our subjects and
1 have resolved to proceed in the beginning of the month of
Jamadi-al-Awal appearing to the commons that my tour is an
unofficial friendly visit t§r the Shaikhs of T rU cial Coastfe.
I shall have to undertake the trouble of expenses and that
of the way with a view to securing the subjects which are
sold like sheep. I pray for myself to be successful in
settling^probleras and as there are some more cases concerning
these parts to be dealt with in Ihibai and Sharqa, my tour will
have to extend from Ras-al-Khaima to Dubai and will take a
period of one month. I shall depute in Sahar as a Representative
the W a ii of Saham and shall takp w-s+v, ^ „
tu ' x T ' aice with me the Wali of Shinas
