- Title:
- Letter no.61 of 1854 from Captain Arnold Kemball, Resident in the Persian Gulf, to Arthur Malet, Chief Secretary of the Government, Bombay
- Scope & Content:
- The letter concerns the plunder of a vessel from Lingah [Bandar-e Lingeh] by the inhabitants of Al Bidda on the Guttur [Qatar] coast. Enclosed with Kemball’s letter is a translation of a letter (folios 2v-3) from the British Agent at Bahrain, Hajee Jassim [Hajjī Jāsim], dated 18 October 1853, informing Kemball that the vessel, having stopped off at Aboothabee [Abu Dhabi] and being bound for Bahrain, was grounded in a storm on the Qatar coast. The inhabitants of Al Bidda subsequently seized twenty-seven bags of rice and a bag of coffee from the vessel’s cargo. Kemball writes that his request for compensation for the value of the cargo from Shaikh Mahomed bin Khuleefa [Muḥammad bin Khalīfah] has ‘received ready attention’.
