THE MASIRA INCIDENT.
At the end of the French Counter-Case
(p. 69) the Masira incident is treated as if it
constituted a violation by Great Britain of the
Sultan's independence and of the obligations
created by the Declaration of 1862. This
incident, consisting in the murder of the crew
of a British merchant ship wrecked on the Island
of Masira, was naturally of a character to call
for the close attention of the British Consul.
The Consul did go to the island, but the offenders
were dealt with by the Sultan himself, and were
executed by his men, the British Consul attend
ing, at the Sultan's request. The British Consul
held no official inquiry in the island, and confined
himself to making inquiries of some of the
accused, with a view to establishing the identity
of the victims of the massacre.
