Achilles' heel. The Sultan has, however, recently, given us
copies of documents obtained from them which support his claim
that they are his subjects.
With regard to the Beni Qitab, I would note that Major
Chauncy has recorded no separate note on the Beni Qitab of tne
Dhahirah. I think their attitude is probably much the sain- ^
that of the al bu Shamis and the Na'im, but this requires
verification. The Beni Qitab inland of Sharjah are subject
to the Ruler of that place and receive allowances from him.
Paragraph 19 . The list of Badu' tribes is not exhaustive.
The Harasis should be included amongst others.
Paragraph 21. Major Chauncy meant to report that the
Duru* were at feud with the V/ahiba and not with the <ahabis.
He has since corrected this error. According to Major Chauncy,
however, Thesiger is reported as having said that the Duru
were anti—Wahabi and anti—Saudi in a nooe oi conversation
recorded by j]astem Department on ohe 12th April, 1 ^y;0.
Paragraph 2^ . The Qara are not only well disposed towards
the Sultan, but, so far as I am aware, definitely subject to
him.
Paragraph 25 . Please see again the second part of my
note on paragraph 5* We should back the Abu Dhabi claim to
their five villages and the Sultan's claim to his two villages,
viz. Buraimi and lianasa.
Paragraph 26 . I agree generally, but think that we
should produce our own definition of the Buraimi area.
