Trucial Chiefs, similar to the certificate proposed to be adopted for Koweit
vessels.
2. The Government of India observe that according to Treaty, there
should be two forms, a “ Register ” and a “ Port Clearance,” but that you
propose only to have one form, though that one would combine most, hut not
all, of the particulars required to be shown in the two forms prescribed by
Article V of the Treaty of 1820. I am, therefore, to enquire whether there are
any reasons for your suggesting a course which is not strictly in harmony with
Treaty provisions in that not only is one form substituted for two, but all
mention is omitted of the ports of departure and destination as well as of the
time of departure.

l Pro. No. 52. trust that the circumstances set forth
in the following paragraphs will he considered to furnish sufficient explanation
of the delay which has occurred in the submission of my reply. The question
of the proper articles to be used is so closely connected with that of the correct
flag to be flown that I venture to deal with them in one communication.

able difficulty to persuade the Trucial Chiefs either to fly the correct treaty flag
or to furnish the vessels of their dependants with formal Articles in accordance
with the letter of the Treaty, two considerations prompted me to endeavour

They were inlined to resist our attempts to protect Arab dhows and to argue
that such were not identifiable either by flag or papers as coming from localities
entitling them to British intervention.
