With reference to my telegram Ho.477 regarding the transgre
ssions of the Shaikh of Fujairah on the Shaikh of Kalba and the
assistance given by Shaikh Salih bin Muhammad A1 Shehhi a
dependent of the Sultan of Muscat to the Shaikh of Fujairah.
I beg to enclose herewith the Shaikh.of Shargah’s letter
in original for your information, •‘•’he Shaikh is always asking
me for an answer and permission (to send a force by sea) as
there is a fighting between them. I reported the state of
affairs in my letter Ho.71, dated the 23rd February 1927,
enclosing a letter from Shaikh Sultan bin Salim, Chief of Ras
ul -Khaimah, to the address of the Hbn’ble 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.
and since then the fighting is existing between the Shaikhs of
Kalba and Fujairah and there have been casualties and losses
on both parties. The Shaikh of Fujairah could not defeat»the
Shaikh of Kalba but,if as stated by the Shaikhs of Shargah and
Ras ul Khaimah^the Shaikh of Bai’ah is supporting the Shaikh of
Fujairah ; the Shaikh of Kalba will become in trouble and will lose
his territory. The two Shaikhs of Qawasim One of the ruling families of the United Arab Emirates; also used to refer to a confederation of seafaring Arabs led by the Qāsimī tribe from Ras al Khaima. intend to support
their cousins the Shaikh of Kalba, by sending stores etc by sea
as,they have no way to Kalba by land.
In order to save the poor subjects of the Shaikh of Kalba
and Fujairah and also other men whom the Shaikhs of Ras ul Khaimal
and Shargah intend to send to Kalba for fighting, the best couse,
in my opinion is, that a peace should be effected between them.
Decision rests with you.
Letter dated 12th Rabi II, 1346, (9-10-27), from Shaikh
Sultan bin Saqar, Chief of Shargah, to 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.

I beg to state that I have received a letter from Shaikh
