No. 14, dated Shargah, the 7th February 1889.
From—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, Shargah,
To—The Political Resident A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency. , Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. .
Mohammad Bin Saef, a brother-in-law of the Chief of Abu-Dhabee visited
Debay, Shargah, Ajman and Ommel-Kaiwan ; he had letters from the Chief of
Aboothabee to the Chiefs of the above principalities, and he wanted the Chiefs
to aid him and co-operate with him in his warfare with Jasim Bin Thani. It
appears that with the exception of the Chief of Debay no other Chief will join
the Aboothabee Chief in his undertaking. I hear that the Chief of Debav is
preparing to start, and that the Chief of Aboothabee will proceed by sea* to
Khore Ghanazah, and meet inland with the Chief of Debay at the encamp
ments of the Manaseer, the Mazaree and others, w ho have transferred them
selves from the western districts to the neighbourhood of Debay.
Mohammad Bin Saef has proceeded from Ommel-Karwan to the Bedouins
in the interior, such as the Beni Katab, El-Ghafalah, El-Amamir, El-Daroo and
others, who are allied with the Chief of Aboothabee, and whom he has asked
to aid him against Jasim Bin Thani.
> # '
I hear that the Chief of Aboothabee, bis sons, bis brother and the elders of
the Al-bu-faldh, together with the elders of the Al-bu-falasah of Debay, will
proceed to Katr, and will not return until they have accomplished their object.
I find that the previous report of the arrival of Abdul Rahman Bin Eeysal
and Ibn Sabhan, and their joining Jasim Bin Thani, had no foundation.
I think the Chief of Aboothabee will send some of his men by sea to Sil’,
and horses and camels by land to that port, and thence they wull proceed ,
towards El-Katr. I hear this from the private conversation of people in Debay,
and they argue that Jasim Bin Thani sends provisions and warlike materials*
by sea to the places within the jurisdiction of the Chief of Aboothabee ; and say
how is it that the Aboothabee Chief cannot send the same within his own
limits ? The above is the new s I have heard, and which I submit for your
information. *
No. 41, dated Bushire, the 1st March 1889.

To—The Secretary to the Government of India, Foreign Department, Calcutta.
I have the honor to enclose translations of news-letters received from the
No. g. 13th February 1889. 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 at Bahrain, regarding-

No. 22, dated the 13th February 1889.
From—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, Bahrain.

Jfter Compliments, With reference to the previous report about the
slaughter of the dependants of Shaikh Zaeed at El-Zafrah by Jasim-bin-Tiiani’s
party, there appears to be some discrepancy about the numbers slain Abu
Ghareb, one of the Na’ain tribe who was with Jasim in this expedition, states the
number of slain may have amounted to about 100 persons, including adults old
men, women, children, and the blind; and that Jasim would not accept any one’s
intercession, contrary to the custom of the Arabs ; whilst Jasim lost about 18
men killed and U wounded.
™ /; r . riv J als fr( J m Aboothabe e report that Shaikh Zaeed has learned that about
70of his dependants were sbin, and that Jasim’s party lost about 45 men,
that Shaikh Zaeed has sent word to all the tribesmen dependent on him to
