With regard to the violent action of the ^nglidh
last year tn Debai- which an irregularity on
their part- and perhaps they have repented of it, aa
they have repented of the affair of Dlnahawi, aa la
supposed. Verily the people of l»ebai in conseiuence
thereof have conceived a mighty hatred against them,
and their Sheikh after what had happened v/lll not con
sent that they should have a footing (or pied a terre)
in Debai, neither for a x J oet Office, nor for what la
greater thaii a poat office. And he has warned then
that if they propose to carry out anything by force
in Debai, the whole population will abandon the place
and migrate from otl
I have been informed that they have demanded that
the Pearl divers in Bahrein should be regiatered i
) > and that they should keep up acco^mt
hooka for them and enter in them each year what they
get for their pearla, and the Sheikh of Bahrein and
the people have not acceded to this innovation,but
anxiety haa anaen in the minds of all and they are
convinced that the English are by thie clearing the
way to sharing with the people of the (iulf m thia
their loeana of livelihood. And that they will perhapa
thereafter treat them as they treat the divers in the
neighbourhood of Ceylon, where the British Covem-
nent takes from them 65 or 75$6 of what they bring up,
and there is only left for them (the divers) the
value of the food which they eat, because others than
they enjoy the profits.
This is what they soy among themselves about the
affair
