JOASMEES.
Joasmees, in conjunction with the Government of Muskat. The com<
bined forces proceeded to Kishm, where they blockaded a Joasmee
fleet, which were reduced to such distress as to solicit a peace. Cap
tain Seton agreed to grant them a truce until the pleasure of Govern-
ment should be known ; explaining, as his reason for not prosecuting
hostilities with vigour, the impossibility of doing it without offending
either the Persians or the Wahabees.
22. The Joasmees, according to their engagements, restored the
Trimmer, the Shannon having been previously given up, after having
been completely stripped.
23 In the month of October an Agent arrived at Muskat from
Moolla Hussein, deputed by the Joasmees to negotiate a peace for
them. The instructions of the Bombay Government having been
applied for. Captain Seton was informed, that in the event of its becom-
ing a party to the peace, it should not be of a limited nature, but extend
generally to the whole Gulf, and every other place and situation, and he
was to require full indemnification for the losses we had sustained,

the agreement with the Joasmees dated the 6th of February 1806, the
whole bulk of whom he represented as desirous of returning to their
former mercantile pursuits. This agreement* does not appear to have!

Wahabee Shaikh.

a. d. 180/. in t ^ e f 0 u 0w j n g year with Syud Beder, the
Imaum, in an attack on Syud Ghes, who had refused to become a party
to the peace, which he could not in honour do until he had revenged
the blood of Syud Sultan.
26. Precluded by the Treaty of 1806 from carrrying on their cruises
in the Gulf, and urged by the Wahabees, the
a. d. 1808. Joasmees extended them to India. In the month
of April 1808 they made their first appearance as pirates in the Indian
Seas, on the coast to the northward of Bombay. The Wahabee Shaikh
had long contemplated the extension of piratical cruises to India
The Joasmees had by a late order of the Wahabee been rendere
independent of their lawful Shaikh, Sultan, who had at this period
nothing left but Ras-ool-Khyma. Ramse, Shargah, and other
places sent out their boats without his permission. Gadeef, an
