The item relates to two reports forwarded by Commodore George Robinson, Commanding Persian Gulf Squadron, to Captain Arnold Burrowes Kemball, Resident in the Persian Gulf. The first report, written by Lieutenant Robert Austice Stradling, Commanding the Company schooner Constance, mentions:
- Expedition to Sohar [Suhar] by Ahmed ben Saidaree [Aḥmad bin Muḥammad al-Sudayrī], a Wahabee [Wahhābī] Lieutenant
- Details of the subsequent amicable settlement reached between Syed Thweeny [Sayyid Thuwaynī bin Sa‘īd Āl Bū Sa‘īd], Governor of Muscat, and Abdullah ben Fysul [‘Abdullāh bin Fayṣal], Wahabee commander
- Plans of Abdullah ben Fysul to return to Nedjd [Najd] once Ahmed ben Saidaree returns to Brymee [Buraymī].
The second report, written by Lieutenant David Rose Dakers, Commanding the Company ship Tigris, provides an update on the same situation. It also mentions:
- Action taken by Hajee Yacoob [Ḥājjī Ya‘qūb], Government Agent at Shargah [Sharjah], to retrieve indigo previously stolen the year before from the British ship, Centaur
- Current tensions between the sheikhs [shaikhs] of Debaie [Dubai] and Shargah
- Concerns that once the Wahabee 'chieftain' departs the region, the tensions will develop into conflict and that the Sheikh of Aboothabee [Abu Dhabi] would be expected to join the Sheikh of Debaie
- Money restored to Mahomed ben Fullah [Muḥammad bin Falāḥ], previously involved in a 'piratical attack', because of his 'good behaviour'.
Kemball forwards the reports, alongside his own comments, to the Government of Bombay who in turn forward them to the Government of India.
