as the sea was under the dominion of the British Government, he had no
power upon tiiat element.
Alluding to this interview, Shaikh Rashid himself, in a letter to the
a. d 1831 Resident, dated in 1S31, speaks of the pacific
views ot Poor key bin Saood in terms of the
highest praise, and takes credit for exertions to establish a good under
standing between the British Government and the Wahabee Chief, from
whom he procured a letter to the address of the Governor of Bombay.
No belief, however, was placed in his sincerity, there being little doubt
that his real intentions were to excite hostility and disturbance,* and to
obtain a Sanction for the renewal of the former system of indiscriminate
aggression and piracy.
Shaikh Rashid bin Humeed died, and was
a. d . 1838. succeeded in the authority over Ejman by his
son Humeed.
Shaikh Abdool Azeez, the elder brother of Shaikh Humeed bin
A D 1841 Rashid (the acknowledged chief), contrived with
his slaves to effect, in May 1841, an entrance

but treated the affair entirely as a family quarrel.
Shaikh Abdool Azeez, however, alarmed at the preparations making
by his deposed brother to erect another fort in the neighbourhood,

BY LIEUTENANT H. F. DISBROWE.
Taking up the history of this tribe in continuation of Captain Kern-
a. d . 1844. ball ' S Historical Sketches, the first occurrence
worthy of notice is that of a collision, in Septem
ber 1844, between two boats on the pearl banks, the one belonging to
Shaigah, the other to Ejman. In this case the people of the Joasmees
were decidedly the aggressors.
Such acts and proceedings of the tribe occupying Ejman as are worthy of notice, or mixed
up with the Policy of the British Government, are recorded in the Sketch of the Joasmee
Tribe. (Vide page 329 of this Selection.)
