recent piratical act, fled from Bahrein, has forfeited all claim to
his title as Principal Sheikh and Chief of Bahrein, and at the
present moment there being no other sheikh, I, Ali-bin-Khalifeh,
received the resident's letter addressed to Mahomed-bin-Khalifeh,
and have understood the demands therein made, and I hereby
agree and accept the conditions as follows;—
1. To make over to-morrow morning, the 19th Jemadi-ool-
awul, 1285 (7th September, 1868), to the high in rank.

from all participation in the affairs of Bahrein and as having no
claim to that territory, and in case of his returning to Bahrein I
promise to seize and make him over to the Resident; but if I do
not act up to the stipulations now agreed I may be considered a
pirate, as Mahomed-bin-Khalifeh himself.
