was anested. They took his arms, luggages and she-eamel
and released him next day on seeing that we took no action. j|
But they did not allow him to proceed to East and sent him
hack to West. He crossed the mountains and reached Eujairah ;
where also he was 'molested hy Hamad*s servants who plundered i
him and took off his money. He reached here tired with
fatigue having passed the round on foot. News has also
heen received today that the Sharqiyin have murdered
Ahdullah hin Khamis, one of my trihe, Shaikh of Daqta.
Notwithstanding this we have not taken any action in order
to obey your orders and those of the Senior Naval Officer.
This is what has happened and you should look into it.
I shall send for the Naqbiyin and ask them not to take any
action. But the road is closed between us and perhaps I
shall send this (letter) by sea.

Shaikh of Kalba.
a. c. • ■ • •;
I received your letter and noted what you mentioned
regarding the boy and murder of Abdullah bin Khamis A1 Naqbi.
In fact this is one of the calamity. I have written to
Shaikh Hamad bin Abdullah about these matters and will see
what he has to say. In fact murder is a matter of great
importance but you should not neglect guarding your own
town. We wrote to prevent him from making instigations.
You should keep patience because this is the time for your
people to go to diving as - they are indebted to the inhabit
ants of the Coast on account of diving.
