Content

Warden writes to acknowledge receipt of Bruce's letter of 27 October 1819, stating that the Governor in Council requests more information on Bruce's representation of Sultan ben Suggar [Sultan bin Saqr], chief of Rasel Khyma [Ra's al-Khaymah]. Warden writes that Bruce's description of Sultan bin Saqr as a 'sanguinary monster' is at variance with that in the records of the Bombay Government, which considers that the chief of Ra's al-Khaymah has not exercised any significant degree of control in the area for some years, because of the growing influence of the Wahabee [ Wahhābī A follower of the Islamic reform movement known as Wahhabism; also used to refer to the people and territories ruled by the Al-Saud family. ] tribe in the region.
