I have the honour to state that the Senior Haval
Officer, Persian Gulf, H.l.S. "Triad" delivered to me a
Note in which the Honible the Political Be sident ordered
me to write to the Shailch of Fujaira with regard to his
dispute with the Shaikh of Kalba and his capturing four
persons of Kalba. I wrote to the Shaikh of Fujaira
uncle r No.452, dated 26th Babi I, 1347 (11-9-28) a copy
of which is herewith enclosed for your information. I
received a reply from the Shaikh of Fujaira which. I beg to
enclose in original for your information. He states
therein that we want him to release those captured by him
from the Shaikh of Kalba tribe, that what would be the
result of this affair and that justice be taken from him
for the Shaikh of Kalba. The 'Shaikh of Fujaira, however,
does not wish to release the prisoners and the statements
described in his letter are mere gossips.
On my arrival at Has ul Khaimah I made enquiries
from some of the Shihuh who stay in mountains abput the
claim of the Shaikh of Fujaira for the murder of a man of
Safad, which he mentioned in his letter which was
submitted to you with my letter No.428 dated 22nd August
1928. The man who died was suffering from Epilepsy and
he had gone to a well to draw water where he got the
disease and' fell down into the well and no one came to
know about him till after three hours when some people
4
came to draw water from the well there they found the
man in the well. The Shaikh of Fujaira therefore claimed
that the tribe of the Shaikh of Kalba had murdered and
thrown him into the well. The tribe of the Shaikh of
Kalba deny having done'so. There are 20 men of the
notables who take oath that they have'not killed the said
man or 20 persons of the notables of Shaikh of Fujaira
tribe should take oath that the Kalba tribe have killed
