in the vicinity, all must have impressed upon his people
that His Majesty's Government are behind the Muscat Jtate.

Geconal^, it is so obvious that their maritime trade can
be controlled by the sea that a hint to this effect will
probablysuffice, and Colonel Biscoe does not think that
there is any necessity at present to consider the question
of sending a sloop to Bur. The Honourable the political
Resident therefore hopes that the luscat Jtate will take
the necessary steps to get in touch with Sheikh Ali and
t. tighten up generally their control over the Bur customs,
ana will be interested to hear in uue course the results
of any measures they may take.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
lour most obedient servant,
Secretary ^ to the lolitical reviiuent
in the fersian Gulf.
