bhaJ~
sustaining a casualty of 4 men killed and 7 wounded?/five men
were killed from the side of Shaikh Said of Kalbab ard three men
were wounded. Also one woman wlwao was killed by the followers
of the Headman of Fujairah; I bear further that both sides have
cut down date trees and other fruit trees such as lime trees and I
marero^palms etc and that losses sustained by the two sides
ar*e enormous and that such damages continue.
According to reports that reached me the Chief of Has ul Khaim?

that the Chief of Shargah has sent 4000 rounds of ammunition

to the Huai of Kalhah.
The Shaikh of Has ul Kbaimah sent his brother Shaikh
Muhammad bin Salim to me to enquire as to whether the High
Government has got any objection if he would send some men of
Uy duo ruLcu
his subjects /to assist bis cousin i.e. the Headman of Kalbab.
I told him that the despatch of a force to another town by the
sea route is prohibited. Shaikh Muhammad bin Salim replied
that the intention Is rot to send/force to occupy a fo^elgr towr
‘O (*AaajcL>
but that they their own town; Kalhah.
From what T see the Shaikhs of the Quasim family are arroyed
at the trarsgressior of the Headman of Fujairah uror their couslr
the Headman of Kalhah and killing their tier and destroying their
properties. DQoisior rests with you regarding permission for tho
despatch of men to Kalhah. In ray poor opinion if you deemradvis-
able to bring about a compromise between them, the Quasim Shaikhs
shall he grateful to Tour Honour.
