ADMINISTRATION REPORT OF THE
they immediately received the support of the Shihu and were able to seize
Hams. The Sheikh o£ Bas-el-Khaimah naturally objected to hia breach of
the truce and desultory fighting ensued. As the truce had been arranged by
the Senior Naval Officer it was necessary to try and settle the affair more
permanently. So in February the Resident proceeded to Bas-el-Kbaimah in
K. 1. M. S. Lawrence accompanied by H. M. S. Cyclamen arriving there on
the 20th. The Cyclamen fetched Sheikh Ahmed Shihu from Bokha who pro
mised to act as intermediary. The two ships anchored off Bams on 21st
February and a safe conduct was given to the two brothers Mahommed and
Salim to come off. Before they could do so however a stiff shamal arose and
both ships had to leave the coast. The Bjesident had to go back to Bushire
but asked the Senior Naval Officer to remain and try and effect a settlement.
The Cyclamen was able to get back on the 25th February. The parties came
on board but no settlement was effected that night. The next day, however,
a settlement was effected after interminable arguments and Mahomed bin
Saleh was appointed Headman of Earns and swore to give allegiance to Sheikh
Sultan and to pay him annual tribute and to refrain from having dealings with
the Shihuh. The Sheikh of Bas-al-Khaimah on his part promised to recognize
Mahomed bin Saleh and not to interfere with him if he kept clear of the
Shihuh. Sheikh Ahmed of Bokha, having sworn friendship to Sheikh Sultan
of Bas-el-Khaimah, went to Eams and removed the Shihu. Certain questiohs
of blood money were left to be settled before the Shera and this was done at
Debai, the Sheikh of Bas-el-Khaimah having to pay some blood money. It is
hoped that this settlement will have some degree of permanency.
The Sheikh of this town, Bashid bin Ahmed, interfered a good deal
^ . in the Hamriyah affair, giving assistance
mm u awam. shelter to Humaid bin Abdur Rahman.
Later he promised the Commander of H. M. S. Cyclamen to bring Humaid in
to make a settlement between him and his father but failed to do this.
Rashid bin Ahmed died on the 22nd August of pneumonia and has been
succeeded by his son Saeed. It is not yet quite certain whether Saeed will be
accepted by the people of Umm-ul-Qaiwain and his succession has therefore
not yet been recognized by Government.
This place was quiet during the year and Sheikh Humaid behaved himself
A . man very well. Presumably this is the effect
of the lesson he had last year.
