like Muhammad All Zainal Eeza and Monsieur Rosenthal visited Dibai
and made purchases.
Relations with Ihn Saud. —No direct interference by Ibn Saud in Tru-
cial Coast affairs was noticed during the vear, although his agent for Baraimi
is known to have visited some of the Trucial Shaikhs. During the summer
the two sons of Saqar bin Zaid, late Shaikh of Abu Dhabi, who was killed
on the 1st January 1928, paid a visit to Ibn Jaluwi, Amir of H. M. Kino-
Ibn Saud in Hasa and presented him with 7 camels. On their return to
Abu Dhabi, they gave out that Ibn Jaluwi was sending one Muhammad
bin Mansur, a negro holding an important position, to Baraimi to collect
taxes from the tribes of Al Bu Shamis, Daru, Awamer and the Manasir,
who are on treaty terms with Ibn Saud, and to turn away from Abu Dhabi
the Manasir Fidawis (body guard) of Shaikh Shakhbut, ruler of Abu Dhabi
who had had a hand in the murder of the late Ruler.
It may be remembered that in 1927, Shaikh Shakhbut and his brother
Hazza both sons of Sultan bin Zaid, a previous Shaikh of Abu Dhabi,
attempted to occupy Dalmah island, supposedly at the instigation of King
Ibn Saud, and only withdrew when Shaikh Sapar despatched a force
against them.
Speaking generally, however, King Ibn Saud has maintained a
correct attitude as far as the Sheikhs of Trucial Oman A name used by Britain from the nineteenth century to 1971 to refer to the present-day United Arab Emirates. proper are con
cerned. The interior tribes he has undoubtedly tried to bring under con
trol, but the coastal communities he has left strictly alone.
Shargah. —Ruler :—Shaikh Sultan bin Saqar-al-Qasimi.
During the year the Ruler of Shargah, surrendered the village Dhaid to
Shaikh Khalid bin Ahmad, ex-Shaikh of Shargah in accordance with
mutual arrangement. This was an old bone of contention. And the
settlement was a most satisfactory one.
Hostilities again broke out between the Shaikhs of Fujairah and Kalba
on the Batineh Coast during the summer, but at the close of vear, a peace
y had been patched up through the intervention of the Ruler of Ras-al-
jKhaimah.

and general balance of young Shaikh, on his visit, were pleased to reduce
by one year the term of banishment of Shaikh Abdur Rahman uncle of the
Ruler of Shargah. Shaikh Abdur Rahman will now return to his home in
June 1929.
Dibai. —Ruler :—Shaikh Saeed bin Maktum al Hashar.
The Shaikh proceeded to Mecca on a pilgrimage in April and returned
,in June.
He has continuously been friendly during the year and as a mark of
appreciation, it has been proposed that his salute be increased from 3 to
5 guns.
During the year the outstanding claim of the estate of a Persian Ghai-
bullah Lari for Rs. 90,000 against the Ruler of Dibai was compromised for
,Rs. 34,000. The well-known Qawam of Shiraz, had interested himself on
behalf of the deceased.
Three Hindus, British Indian Subjects, had claims against one Arab
Nasir bin Rashid, who in turn claimed Rs. 1,50,000, from a Hindu by name
Damodardas Lalchand., It was considered impolitic that the Political
Resident should force Arabs to pay up the claims of British
subjects without making the British subjects pay the Arab
claims. Difficulty arose when Damodardas Lalchand disregarded
