1885. As usual in Trueial 'Omn, after a short interval of jx^e there was
a sudden renewal of Asturbances. In May 1885 the son of Ahmad
bin-'Abdullah, Shailn'i of Umm-al-Qaiwain, quarrelled with his father
aud took refuge with Rashid-bin-Hamaid, Shaikh of 'Ajman, who
refused to give hm up; and the Shaikh of Sharjah, Saqar-bin-Khalid,
joined the Slaikh of Umm-al-Qaiwain for the purpose of attacking
'Ajman. Shortly after this the Shaikh of Umra-al-Qaiwain sent to
sea two Baqarahs carrying 5U men, as also some munitions of war which
were landed partly at Hairah and partly at Sharjah,—an act for which
it was necessary to call him to account. In November, Mr. Robertson
on behalf of the Resident, visited Umm-al-Qaiwain in H .M.S.
''Reindeer'', bnt Ahmad-bin-'Abdullah evaded a meeting; subsequently,
however, his conduct seems to have been condoned on his undertakiuo'
not to repeat tho offence. Meanwhile raids were committed by the
inhabitants of I'mm-al-Qaiwain and Hamriyah upon one another;
they were suspended, but only for a brief space, after a reconciliation
effected in August by the

Agent at Sharjah. At the end of
November the Shaikh of Dibai united with the Shaikh of 'Ajman
and began to foray the Shaikh of Sharjah's territories.
1886. On the 20th of January 1886 the Shaikhs of Dibai, 'Ajman and
Hamriyah attacked the town of Sharjah with a force of about 1,000
men and a field-piece, and a battle followed in which the people of
Sharjah lost 40 men killed and 25 wounded, while the attacking force
had only five fatal casualties. At the request of Shaikh Saqar-bin-
Khalid of Sharjah the British

Agent, who had in the mean
while informed the Shaikh of Dibai that he would be held responsible
for any loss suffered by British subjects in Sharjah, intervened between
the parties and succeeded in arranging a peace upon condition that the
Shaikh of Sharjah should renounce his alliance with the Shaikh of
Umm-al-Qaiwain. After the retirement of Sharjah from the conflict
the campaign was continued by Dibai, 'Ajman and Hamriyah against
Umm-al-Qaiwain and Ras-al-Khaimah; but the operations were now
confined to petty raids, some of which were committed on dependencies
of Ras-al -Khaimah, at the instigation of Dibai, by the people of Bakhah
and Kumzar and by the Shihuh tribe generally. In April an attempt
at mediation on the part of the Shaikh of Abu Dhabi was foiled by
the obstinacy of the Shaikh of Umra-al-Qaiwain. In May a raid was
made on Urara-al-Qaiwain by the people of Hamriyah, and shortly

a force from Urara-al-^laiwain entered and destroyed that place, killing
