The file comprises correspondence relating to at least two alleged or suspected cases of piracy. The first case in the file (case number 2 in the file title) comprises a letter from Charles Dalrymple Belgrave, Advisor to the Government of Bahrain, to the Political Agent at Bahrain (Lieutenant-Colonel Percy Gordon Loch), dated 2 June 1935, reporting the disappearance of a loaned boat, and requesting enquiries be made as to its whereabouts. Further correspondence contains the responses to enquiries made by the Political Agent to the Residency Agent at Sharjah, the Ruler of Qatar (Shaikh ‘Abdullāh bin Jāsim Āl Thānī), and the Political Agents at Muscat and Kuwait, and a further letter from Belgrave to the Political Agent, dated 1 April 1936, reporting that the boat has been returned (ff 3-15).
The second case in the file (case number 1 in the file title) comprises a letter from Belgrave to the Political Agent at Bahrain, dated 4 June 1935, reporting the shipwrecking of a boat belonging to a Muharraq merchant (Ibrahim Joomah Doy) at Raf-al-Jazeri, and the seizure of the vessel’s cargo by the Ruler of Maseyda [Maṣīrah] and his people. Also included are statements made by Ibrahim Joomah Doy and the boat’s nakhuda, and correspondence between Belgrave and the Political Agent clarifying where the incident took place (ff 24-36).
The remainder of the correspondence in the file, dated August 1937 (ff 37-44), is incomplete, and appears relate to other incidents of alleged piracy on the Trucial Coast, including a shooting incident on a vessel at Kalba, resulting in the death of two members of crew (ff 37-38).
