man on his own behalf, named Sultan al Tinaiji to endeavour
to release the prisoners of (the people) Kalba, and then to
effect a reconciliation between Kalba and Fujairah, I told
him this action was good and satisfactory. Four days later
h
the Shaikh sent me letters, he received from Kalba and Fujairal
