Translated purport of a letter from Mahomed bin Tani, Chief of Guttur, to Resident,
Persian Gulf.
I wrote to you some time ago and expressed my friendly feelings, fearing
other evil reports might reach you about me.
My boat was leaving Kuteef confident of safety. I heard the Bahrein
people seized her. I am unaware whether they have detained her or not. I
wished to inform you of this, as you would not permit a breach of the peace at
sea, as you are just in your proceedings and we depend on you.

From—L ieut.-Col. Lewis Felly, C.S.I., Her Britannic Majesty's Political Resident,
Persian Gulf,
To—M ahomed bin Tani, Chief of Guttur.
In regard to your complaint, that certain craft belonging to your people had
been plundered by some of the Alsehat and others, I would invite you, on the
next visit of my Assistant to the Coast, to send a deputy on board the steamer,
with powers to confer with a person whom the Chief of Bahrein will be invited
to depute for this purpose. Enquiry might then be made, and an equitable
arbitration arrived at.
