Your telegram Ko 1125 Hovr 5th. Root of tiieBe
troubles at Sur is declaration of independence "by ISani Bu Ali
and their att rapts to foist their authority on Bur where
their «v/n coinmercial interest is small and confined to
on other side of creek. They have undermined Walis authority
thereby letting loose lawless element who are responsible
for other acts. They have stopped all caravan trade thereby
bringing economic pressure to bear and have written to
Council on October 28th that they will not allow anyone else
to occupy Sur. Please compare above with your ietter to them
dated gist Octr.
They have protested to me against my warning issued in
accordance with your telegram of 24th Octr. stating it is unusual
for Government to issue such when British subjects are safe.
They are accustomed to visits from men-of-war and
convinced that we will not take action unless British subjects
threatened. Visit from H.M's ship Kffingham wi thout taking
action would hardly remove this conviction but may lead Hinawis
to believe that we do not mean business thereby precipitating
matters bombardment of fort occupieti fey gang who looted
British dhow A term adopted by British officials to refer to local sailing vessels in the western Indian Ocean. would also not alter this conviction. Gang would
vacate fort when man of war appear d and reocoupy it on her
departure in the case of its destruction they can occupy
another fort.
I consid r that if Sur question is to be tackled we must
either tackle Buali or place regimem- Uiere.
Ultimatum from Council to Bu Aii to haul down Bin
Saud's flag, remove new fortification commanding creek, and
pay fine to V ate for their action, otherwise bombardment

of Aiqa by us may effect but place is stronghold of/tribe
warli ie and unli kely to be intimidated easily. Please
