Content

Robison reports on his activities in response to Kemball's instructions (ff 109-112): sailing from Bassadore to Sharjah, meeting the British agent Hadji Yacoob, and proceeding to Ras-el-Khymah [Ra's al-Khymah] to interview Sultan ben Suggar [Sultan bin Saqr] about recent Maritime Truce infringements, including the incident of alleged piracy at Zanzibar. Included with the letter is one enclosure, a statement (f 124) from Sultan bin Saqr regarding the removal of slaves from a boat at Zanzibar by one from Ras-el-Khymah [Ra's al-Khymah]. The statement was made before Robinson on board the Company sloop Clive , on 9 July 1852. Sheikh Sultan states that the boat, although owned by his subjects, was crewed by men from the Batinah Coast.
