Sir,
I have the honor to report the arrival of the East
India Company's Brig of War Tigris under my charge from Bahrein
the 18th Instant, at which place we anchored on the 15th and
were detained until the 17th P.M. awaiting Hadgee Bushab's
return from Core Hussain where he had proceeded to hold a
conference with Shaik Abdoolah and obtain that Chief's direc­
tion relative to his negotiating with Esa bin Tareif. Hadgee
Bushab, on his return delivered to me the accompanying letter
for Captain Hennell, Political Resident, expressing at the
same time Shaik Abdoolah's determination not to avail himself
of the Tigris's further services under an impression that any
terms of conciliation he might be induced to offer to the

Aboothabee Chief would be rejected unless enforced or guaran­
teed by the Political authorities in the Persian Gulf.
Accompanying I beg to return two native letters agreeably to
messrs. on their Envelopes.
I have the honor to be etc.
