the Customs guards were withdrawn and the Persian flags, which had
been hoisted, were removed by order of the Persian Government; this was
done on the 14th of June 1904, and a few days later the Trucial flag was
replaced on both islands to the general satisfaction of the inhabitants of

. The Persian Government, in consenting to remove
the evidences of their usurpation, had stipulated that the ownership of the
islands should be discussed at leisure between themselves and the British
Government; but as mentioned in the history of the Persian Coast they
failed to convince the British Government of the existence of Persian
rights ; indeed they did not seriously attempt to do so. Here it only
remains to add that the Persians subsequently complained of the erection
by the Shaikh of Sharjah of new buildings on Tunb, but that the
complaint—in itself inadmissible as maintenance of the statu* quo formed
no part of the mutual understanding—was proved by local investigation,
and by the visits of British officers to Tunb in 1904 and 1905, to be
groundless.

abeyance Abdul Aziz, the E on of Ibn-Sa'ud, addressed letters to all the
Trucial Shaikhs informing them of his arrrival in Qatar and of a
reconciliation which he had effected among the Bedouin tribes of the A1
Morrah, Ban. Itajrr and 'A jman ; he added that he hoped to visit Trucial
Oman in the spring of 1906.
These communications were received with dismay by the Hinawi
' ai s of Abu Dhabi and Dibai, who foresaw a great diminution
their own prestige as a result of the intrusion of the Wabhabis, and with
corresponding relation by the other or Ghafiri Shaikhs, who were longing for
e iverance from the twenty years' hegemony of Abu Dhabi. A corre-
spondence was at once opened between the Abu Dbabi Shaikh and his
