the Wail is not clear* The Senior Naval Officer's Interpreter
was in formed by a merchant in Khauab that it wae ’ue to the
that the Wali had not paid hie debts, and the Nakhodn of an Arab
Jallibeut, belonging to Henjcsn, which was lying at Khaecb, informed
the boarding officer from H#! f .3* "Lupin" that it was due to the
Wali having over resorted his authority, and having threatened the
Sheikh with action by the Britieh*
^2. It was not considered that either of these opinions are vexy
reliable, and it same probable that the principal cause is the
Sheikh's refusal to reco&ilse the authority of the '‘usuat
Government, and the suspicion aroused by the incidents in connection
with the landing of K.&.3."Ormonde*e" surveying party, that the v/ali
is endeavouring to enlist the help of the British to on force it*
The Wall atates that there was no trouble between himself
and the Sheikh before the arrival of "Ormonde"•
23* The preparations mentioned In para*16 appear to be duo to
the Sheikh's expectation that some action may be taken against
him by the British or Muscat Gov^mmeiits, and it aeons unlikely
that the concentration is directed especaiily against the mli*
24* It is considered improbable that an attack would be made
on the Wali while one of H*M*Ships are in the vicinity, but in
the absence of a ship he would probobly have difficulty in
obtaining provisions, and lie haa stated that in that event he would
not remain at Kh&sab*
25* On 17th March, a moeaage was received from the Hon'ble
the Political Kesident, etating that it had been recommended that
prompt steps should be taken to enforce the autliority of the Muscat
State at Khasab ond that the Sultan or his Waair should proceed
there to impose punishment, which should be enforced by one of
H*K* Ship •*
26* A will therefore regain at Khasab or the vicinity until
further instructions are received from the Honble, The Political
Hesident, and he has been informed accordingly.
