invitation of the Chief of Heera, repaired in person to Ejman, and
mediated a peace between the contending parties.
Humeed bin Rashid had scarcely been chief a couple of months ere
he espoused the cause of the defeated Wahabee, and joined the league
against Shaikh Syud at Brymee. What part, if any, he took in the
skirmishes that were fought with the Chief of the Beniyas, does not
appear. Of his subsequent proceedings no mention is made. We
simply gather, from a letter addressed to Major Hennell, on the 8th of
December 1848, that he set out on the 4th of the month with the Nuj-
dees, Joasmees, and Boo Felasa, to attack the holders of Brymee.
A general peace was concluded in February 1849, in the terms of
which Humeed bin Rashid was of course included.
In the spring of 1850, when the Joasmee repaired with his allies to
Sohar and the Batinah Coast, for the purpose of assisting Syud Ghes,
repelling Shaikh Syud, and contending with Syud Soweynee, Shaikh
Humeed bin Rashid proceeded to Zeit, to join Shaikh Sultan, with a
detachment of two hundred men.
Not one single matter of interest remains to be told, affecting this
tribe, further than a simple mention of the Treaty for Perpetual Peace
at Sea,* entered into by the Maritime Chiefs of the Arabian Coast, to
the conditions of which Shaikh Humeed bin Rashid exhibited the
greatest readiness to subscribe in the month of May 1853.
