I returned to Kalha and saw the "building about which I
the Shaikh ©f Fujairah spoke to me. I found that the
"building was for the purpose of preventing the huts "being
set on fire. The Shaikh of Fujairah had. in no way any
right to object about this building because all the
Shaikhs of the Oman Coast and the interior build towers
and walls for the protection of their twons from enemies*
On enquiry from the Persians about the wall built by the
Shaikh of Kalba I found out that when there was fighting

inability to come on board owing to his sickness. I
pointed fut that if he could not come on board personally
he should send one of his sons on board the Triad with
full authority to make peace between him and the Shaikh
of Kalba. He therefore appointed his nephew named Shaikh
' ' !
Abdullah bin Hamdan and wrote to the S.N.O. about his
appointment. A copy of the letter is enclosed herewith.
We all went on board and a peace was made between r
the Shaikhs and an agreement wad drawn in duplicate as
per copy enclosed herewith. One copy was- given to each
of the Shaikhs who all expressed their gratitude to the
S.N.O.
On the 12th November 1927 the S.N.O. left Kalba
for Daba and on his arrival there he sent my son to
Shaikh Salih AlShehhi at Bai’ah who came on board in
company with Shaikh Bashid bin Ahmad bin Sultan, Chief of ij
