‘Persian Gulf. Good treatment experienced by two boats belonging to Sheik Sultan bin Suggur at the hands of His enemies the Sheiks of Debaye and Amulgavine’
- Scope & Content:
-
The item consists of copies and extracts of correspondence cited in, or enclosed with, a Political Letter from the Government of Bombay to the East India Company Court of Directors, 13 November 1847. A copy of this Political Letter can be found at IOR/F/4/2238/112322, alongside details of further enclosures. The item is the thirty-sixth in a series of fifty-nine items on events in the Persian Gulf.
This item relates to an extract of a letter from Moollah Houssein [Mullā Ḥusayn], Agent at Shargah [Sharjah], to Major Samuel Hennell, Resident in the Persian Gulf, dated 19 December 1846. Moollah Houssein reports on the good treatment experienced by the crews of two vessels belonging to subjects of Sheik Sultan ben Suggur [Shaikh Sulṭān I bin Ṣaqr al-Qāsimī], after their vessels were wrecked near to Debaie [Dubai] and Amulgavine [Umm al-Qaywayn]. He contrasts this with the treatment experienced by a vessel from Debaie which was swamped near Sheik Sultan ben Suggur’s territory of Shargah. Hennell forwards the extract to the Government of Bombay, and includes his comments on the events.
Debaie is also rendered in text as Debaye and Debaei.
The title page of the item contains the following references: ‘Bombay Political Department’, ‘Draft No. 345/48’, ‘Collection No. 2 of No. 139, Vol: 36.’ and ‘Examiner’s Office’.
