Nisab, and part governed by Shaikh Mohsin bin Farid, who is nearly as
powerful as the Sultan and lives at Yeshbum.
The Aulaki inhabit the tract of country stretching from the Fadthli
boundaries on the west to those of the Dhuyaibi on the east; but the
ports of Irka and lower Haura on this coast are held by independent
Shaikhs.
(a) The Upper Aulaki.
In 1889 the upper Aulaki Shaikh voluntarily signed a written agree*
meht abandoning all customaty rights over Fadthli and Abdali.
On' 8th December 1903 a treaty (No. XXXIII) was concluded at
Aden with the upper Aulaki Shaikh and was ratified on 5th February
1904.
A treaty (No. XXXIV) was also concluded with the upper Aulaki
Chief on 18th March 1904 and ratified on 23rd April 1904.
The population of this tribe is estimated at 30,000.

" (5) The Lower Aulaki.
In October 1855 the Resident at Aden entered into an Engagement
(No. XXXV) with Sultan Munassar bin Bubakr, Mahdi of the lower
Aulaki tribe, by which the latter bound himself to prohibit the im
portation of slaves into the country from Africa. He was murdered,
together with his.son Abdulla, in July 1863, and was succeeeded by his
cousin, Bubakr bin Abdulla. The authority of the lower Aulaki Chief
over his tribe is rather limited, and Sultan Bubakr bin Abdulla was
not always able to prevent the plunder of vessels wrecked on his coast.
In 1871, however, he bound himself by an engagement to use his best
endeavours to prevent such outrages in future, and to protect and if
possible convey to Aden, any shipwrecked seamen who might stand in
need of his assistance.
In 1883 dissensions brofce out between the Fadthli and lower Aulaki,
leading to a raid on the Fadthli territory. The lower Aulaki were
defeated with considerable loss.
A Protectorate Treaty (No. XXXVI) was concluded with the Sultan
in 1888, and was ratified on the 26th February 1890.
In 1892 Sultan Bubakr resigned the Chiefship in favour of Saleh
bin Ali bin Nasir, a distant relative. The Government sanctioned this
arrangement and continued his stipend to his successor. Sultan Saleh
bin Ali bin Nasir resigned the Chiefship in 1900, and Sultan Ali bin
Munassar succeeded him. The latter died in 1902 and was succeeUS^-
by Sultan Nasir bin Bubakr.
