(i) Shaikh Shakhbut bin Sultan, Ruler of Abu Dhabi, arrived at Bah
rain on the 5th August on his way to Basrah for medical treatment. It
was first suspected that he was proceeding to ‘Iraq to meet persons interest
ed in oil, from whom he was known to have received overtures, but this was
not borne out by subsequent reports. He returned from Basrah on the
30th September and left Bahrain for Abu Dhabi on the 8th October.

before he came off to pay his call on the Commander. The Shaikh refused
to do so at first, but the Shaikh of Dubai intervened and, wiser councils pre
vailing, the Shaikh apologized to Commander Harvey. Relations with him
have since been cordial.
4. Has al Khaimah. ;
Shaikh Sultan bin Salim, Ruler of Ras al Rhaimah, had for some years
past studiously refused to meet His Majesty’s Representatives or call on His
Majesty’s Ships when they visited his port, as he harboured a grievance
about action taken to seize his boats when the petrol barge was bein^
installed.

the island but wanted to make money out of it, and, therefore, removed his

that a Political Officer would visit him at Ras al Khaimah and also asking
that a geologist should be sent to Ras al Khaimah to make a survey of his
