- Title:
- ‘Persian Gulf Cruise of the Honble Company’s Sloop “Clive” to the Arabian Coast and investigation of the charges preferred against the Native Agent at Shargah.~’
- Scope & Content:
-
The item consists of copies and extracts of correspondence and resolutions, cited in, or enclosed with, a Political Letter from the Government of Bombay to the East India Company Court of Directors, 28 April 1854. It is the first in a series of thirteen items on the Persian Gulf. The Political Letter sets out which enclosures comprise the next twelve items (see IOR/F/4/2575/152544 through IOR/F/4/2575/152555).
The item relates to instructions provided to Commodore George Robinson, Commanding Indian Naval Squadron [in the] Persian Gulf, from Captain Arnold Burrowes Kemball, Resident in the Persian Gulf, to cruise around the Arabian coast of the Gulf with the Company ship, Clive. This is in response to reports of occurrences which Kemball fears may 'disturb' relations amongst the maritime tribes. These are:
- Recent disputes involving: subjects of Sheikh Sultan ben Suggur, 'Chief' of Rusul Khymah and of the Joasmees [Shaikh Sulṭān I bin Ṣaqr al-Qāsimī, Ruler of Ra’s al-Khaymah and the Qawāsim]; inhabitants of Debaie [Dubai]; inhabitants of Aboothabee [Abu Dhabi]; and inhabitants of Shargah [Sharjah, also rendered in text as Sharja]
- Accusations of misappropriating money, made against Hajee Yacoob [Ḥājjī Ya‘qūb], British Agent at Shargah, by Sheikh Sultan ben Suggur
- Dispute between Hajee Yacoob and Abdul Rahman boo Sheit [‘Abd al-Raḥmān Bū Shu‘ayṭ, also rendered in text as Abdul Rahman Boo Boosheit]
- Incident involving a Beloochee [Balochi] man fleeing with a woman to Debaie
- Two 'slaves' [enslaved people] escaping from Aboothabee
- Quarrel between two tribes from Shargah.
Kemball forwards copies of his letters to the Government of Bombay, enclosing relevant correspondence from Hajee Yacoob, Sheikh Sultan ben Suggur, and Robinson. Resolutions of the Government of Bombay are also included in the item.
The title page of the item contains the following references: 'Bombay Political Department', 'P.C. [Previous Communication] 8964', Draft Number '908 [18]54', 'Collection No. 1 of No. 32 of 1854', 'In 13 Volumes', 'Vol: 1' and 'Examiner's Office'.
