ADMINISTRATION RE POET ON THE PERSIAN GULP POLITICAL
Ajman tribes, and saying that he hoped to visit the Chiefs' territories in th
coming spring. e
These missives were received with very different feelings by the Hina *
Sheikhs of^ Debai and Abu Thabi on the one hand and the Ghafiri Chiefs
Shargah, Ajman, Umm-al-Kawain and Ras-al-Khaima on the other • bv th
former with extreme apprehension and by the latter with pleasuraW
expectation born of the knowledge that their own importance would be much
enhanced and that of Sheikh Zaeed diminished by the revival of Wahabeeism
On receiving the intimation Sheikh Zaeed had at once communicated
the purport to his fellow Hinawi and ally, the Sultan of Maskat, who was
himself no less apprehensive, from the knowledge that any revival of Waha
bee propaganda in Oman would probably mean that all the Ghafiri element
among his subjects would rise against him. A personal and verbal warnim?
against intriguing with Bin Saood was given to the Sheikhs by the Besident
on hearing the news from them on his way to Baraimi and this was repeated
officially on his return on behalf of the Government of India, who held that
although the report might not take shape the matter was sufficiently serious
to justify immediate action. In the absence of any established relations with
Bin Saood and pending reference to His Majesty's Government it was
considered simplest to sound Sheikh Mubarek on the subject informally.
This the
Political Agent
A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.
, Captain Knox, was instructed to do, mentioning at
the same time that he did not suppose that Government would view with
approval any interference on the part of Bin Saood with the affairs of Sheikhs
in treaty relation with us. Sheikh Mubarek was responsive and replied that
he too had heard the report, and though he attributed it to a mere attempt
to extort blackmail, he had already written to Bin Saood pointing out the
folly of such a course. He however appears to have written again spontane
ously, and according to the reply which he told the

that he
had received and which there is no reason to doubt. Bin Saood replied to him
in a very friendly tone saying that he had no sinister or unfriendly intentions
and regretting if any careless observations he may have made should have
been found harmful. Since then he has been fully occupied with events in
Nejd and nothing more has been heard of his project.
It is worthy of record with reference to the Zora tract mentioned in
Zora. last y ear,s report, that one of Sheikh
c ^ . xr • o . Zaeed's wives is a daughter of Sheikh
Sultan bm Nasir Suweidi, whom Sheikh Zaeed wanted to install with his
tribe, the Soudan, at Zora. Sheikh Zaeed's mother too was a relative of Sheikh
Nasir.
Monsieur Goguyer followed on the heels of the Eesident to Baraimi in
M. Goguyer. December. H e first landed from the
mail at Debai and endeavoured to proceed
inland from there, but was not permitted by Sheikh Maktoom. He there
fore proceeded by native boat to TJmm-al-Kawain and persuaded Sheikh
Eashid to let him start from there. As the latter had just assisted the
Resident m his arrangements, he presumably found it difficult to dispose of
Goguyer s glib arguments.
^ does not appear that this venerable intriguer had any special object
other than seizing the opening to see the interior and ascertain what Maior
Cox had been doing.
In May 1905 the Hesident drew attention to the inconvenience which
Trucial Flag. might arise from the fact that the Trucial
fl -u j t, * j.* i p Chiefs do not fly the orthodox Trucial
flag prescribed by Article 3 of the General Treaty of 1820; and recommended
that several pattern flags should be given gratis to each Chief and that they
should be called upon to fly the correct Treaty Flag.
Owing to the absence of Foreign Powers and Ships in the Gulf in th e
past, not much stress was laid upon strict adherence to Treaty in this respect 5
but the advent of ^ the Belgian Customs Administration and Ships of Foreign
rowers has made it very necessary that vessels claiming our protection should
be indentifiable as such. ° r . . ,
