4 bags of rice, half a of sugar, two mauncle of tea /
and one bag of flour. They tied alongside my boat
the whole night and the ne-ut day until the evening when we
were in the middle of the Gulf near ^uoin Islands to the
Bast. They then saw a boat and went towards her. The next
morning we saw four other boats near to us except one
which was far away and towards which the Baluchi boat was
sailing. Later we heard some shots but v/e were not sure
from w. ich of them. After that v/e saw the Baluchi boat
keeping far from the boat and sailing towards Diba. We do
not know these Baluchis or their whereabouts. All that
v/e know about them from v/hat v/e heard when they were speaking
to each other, th^t the name of their leader is Ahmad
Shah and two others called * Isa and MUlla. I arrived from
Has al Khaimah today and informed Shaikh Sultan bin Salim
v/ho is at Sharjah so that he may inform you of this matter.
I do not intend to go to Batinah or any other place in
search for them as I do not know their whereabouts* I am
returning to Has al Khaimah and if I hap. en to see them
in any place I will inform the local authorities about them.
