quickly and successfully completed. Experience had now convinced the
Shaikhs of the benefit to all from unbroken peace at sea, and not even that
■pro forma opposition was encountered which had been anticipated on the
part of the more powerful Shaikhs of Sharjah and Abu Dhabi, the Shaikh
of Sharjah being satisfied by an assurance that the signature of the new
treaty would not debar him, in an extreme case, from defending his mari
time possessions in the Gulf of 'Oman by naval means against the ruler
of Masqat. The terms of the Perpetual Treaty of Peace, as it was styled,
were similar to those of the Ten Y ears' Truce, but included, as an addi
tional stipulation, that the " perfect maritime truce " now established
" for evermore " should be watched over and enforced by the British
Government. The treaty, which took effect from the 4th of May, was
signed by the Shaikhs on various dates between the 4th and the 9th of
that month.
The continuance of a system of presents, which the Kesident was
accustomed to bestow at his periodical visits in recognition of good con
duct on the part of the individual Shaikhs, was expressly sanctioned by
the Government of India.
