Bated 22nd August 1928.
¥ith reference to my letter No.394 dated 25th July
1928^regarding the case of murder hy the tribe of the
Shaikh of Fujaira of a man of Shaikh of Kalha, I "beg to
forward herewith a letter which has been received by me
from the Shaikh of Fujaira to the effect that Shaikh of
Kalba*s tribe have killed one of his subjects. I communica
ted with the Shaikh of Shargah on the subject and beg to
enclose herewith a copy of my letter for your information.
I received an answer from the said Shaikh and two letters
from the Shaikh of Kalba and all the letters I transmit
to you for your information. Enquiries made by me in the
case show that the followers of the Shaikh of Fujaira
had already killed a man without a reason which would
make liable to murder and.now the relatives of the murdered
man killed one of Shaikh of Fujaira**8 subjects. When this
news reached the Shaikh of Fujaira he arrested four men,
subjects of the Shaikh of Kalba, and the followers of the
latter captured four men from Shaikh of Fujiara*s tribe*
The trouble is now brewing between Kalba and Fujaira.
The Shaikh of Kalba came to Shaikh Sultan bin Saqar in
this connection. The latter sent his brother, Shaikh
Majid, in company of the Shaikh of Kalba in order to
guard him on his way to Kalba.
At present the Shaikhs of Oman Coast and the inhabita
nts talk that no confidence was observed towards the peace
concluded by the Senior Naval Officer between the Shaikhs
of Kalba and that of Fujiara, that Shaikh of Fujaira
rejected it by killing a man, subject of Shaikh of Kalba^
and that in addition he arrested four men of Kalb a. The
Shaikh of Shargah is greatly annoyed from the actions of
the Shaikh of Fujaira towards his cousin Shaikh Said bin
Hamad. I am of opinion if the Shaikh of Fujaira is left
