From—Nyayadish of Mandvie,
To—Judge of the Sudder Adawlut.
Hepoiits that Karaji Noor Mahomed Parpanee has this day laid informa
tion that he sails in Mahadeo Pussa (Novee Ladi), a vessel belonging to Mao
Kulianjee Somchund. When he was coming to Mandvie with cargo he let go
the anchor of the vessel near Kooria Mooria and was to land to take water, in
the meantime another vessel of Yeeramull also arrived there and was anchoicd.
The sailors of that vessel as well as of his, together with himself, went on shore in
boats to take water. He had also a Pukeer with him. Seeing about 80 wicked
persons on the shore, all the sailors being afraid jumped into the water and
swam to the vessels, but they having threatened to shoot with guns, he (the
informant) and two khalassees and the tindal of the vessel returned to the shore.
They (the robbers) stripped off their clothes and threatened to take their lives,
afterwards they asked for money and feigning to bring the money from
the vessel himself and a sailor of the other vessel went on board the vessel m
a boat. Being afraid they cut off the anchor ropes, and the Yeeramull vessel
returned towards Aden to complain, while he set out for Kutck. The robbeis
then pursued him with five boats and strove for one night and one day
hours), but could not overtake his vessel. These are the circumstances.
Pukeer from the informant’s vessel and a sailor and a tindal of the Veeramuii
vessel remained in the hands of the robbers.
Pormerly there were some men of Government (stationed) at this place,
and also telegraph, but there is nothing at present.
The Nacoda states as above, and the papers regarding the enquiries made
in this matter, which accompany this report, will bring the circumstances to
(your) knowledge.
