2. During a conference on board R.:'.S. "Cyclamen" at Bokha
on 5th ^arch, between Commanding Officer of '"Cyclamen", the
esidency Agent froniSharjah and the Sheikh of Bokha, concerning
the landing of "Ormonde’s" party, the sheikh stated that the
Sheikh of Khasab was causing trouble and obstructing the

Agent and the
Sheikh of Bokha on board) and HJ/.S."Ormonde" therefore
proceeded to Khasab on 6th Ilarch.
0 n arrival, the Sheikh of Khasab refused to go on
board H.. .8." Cyclamen" stating that his people would not
allow him to, and the Sheikh of Bokha refused to go on shore,
on the ground that, by the rules of courtesy, having come so
far. the Sheikh of Khasab should come off ana see him. In
reply to a letter reauesting the Sheikh of Khasab to come on
board, Commanding Officer or "Cyclamen" received a letter
purporting to come from the people of Khasab saying that they
would not allow the Sheikh to come, but, in the light of
subsequent events, it is considered probable that the Sheikh,

Agent and the Sheikh of Bokha came on
board "Lupin" on the evening of 7th March.
The principal opposition to the landing of "Orncnde’s"
P^ty appeared to come from the Sheikh of Khasab. The Sheikh
of Bokha seemed inclined to come to an arrangement, though he
was evidently afraid of offending the Sheikh of Khasab arid
his other co-religionists by allowing Christians into the
country.
7. It is believed that one of the objections to allowing
the party to land was due to the suspicion that they had some
ulterior motive, such as the enforcement of the authority of
