Propose Abdur Rahman be sent to Shargah for custody.
Ultimatum to that Shaikh would follow as follows-- failing
delivery of Abdur Rahman on board within certain time limit
watch towers of Heirah and Shargah wwill be bombarded and
no vessels from either town allowed to proceed to pearl
^ be
banks. Both Shaikhs to/warned they will be held responsible
for any losses of life or property to British subjects.
This might have desired effect since destruction of
towers will lay towns open to attack from Ajman with whom there
is friction on account of debt^ of Es 17,000/- by Shargah.
Alternative proposal is ultimatum to Shaikh of Ras-
al-Khaimah as follows-- failing delivery of Abdur Rahman on

This would be more effect means of putting on
pressure than stopping pearl-diving, Ras-al-Khaimah having
