Vrent and the Shailchs
of these places. 3?he revival of a blood feud dating back
to about 1920 was threatening to develop into a War between
Sharjah and A1 Ajman, three subjects of the latter Sheikh
dom having recently fired at ( but missed ) Shaikh T *achMum, ^
the father-in-law of the Shaikh of Sharjah whilst being
received by him at h : s house, after which they rode off.
The Shaikh of Sharjah who complained said that Ajman
had threatened him and had many Bedouin allies whilst the
latter informed me that he himself had given the order to
fire and whatever happened intended to attack Shaikh Bachmum
and knew that it meant war between Ajman and Sharjah. As
there were a number of British subjects in both Sheikhdoms
and the Imperial Airways Aerodrome and Best House was at
Sharjah it seemed something had to be done about the matter.
After lengthy and protracted interviews and the consumption
of considerable quantities of sherbet and coffee and sweet
meats combined with a little forceful persuasion a meeting
of the two ruling Shaikhs was arranged at irihich they rubbed
noses and over clasped hands and in the name of Allah made
a solemn declaration that no further quarrelling would take
place for a period of 4 months during which time negotiations
would be entered into with a view to concluding a formal and
peimanent peace. The services of the
Residency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
Agent (Khan
Bahadur Isa bin Abdul Latif ) were of great assistance
in arranging the truce.
