In August, a Somali Nakhoda Muhammad Musa entered a charge against another Somali, Omar bin Yusuf {alias Said), of having kidnapped and sold 3 Somali boys whom the Complainant had temporarily deposited in Oman. Omar, who was by this time on board a steamer in the harbour, was arrested and placed in detention. He denied the accusation and brought a countercharge against Muhammad Musa. The matter was referred to the Resident, and the three Somali boys recovered through the efforts of His Majesty's Vice-Consul at Lingah with the co-operation of the Shaikh of Chiru, in whose district the boys we. On the appearance of the boys here, Omar admitted that he sold them, and he was sent to Bushire for trial in December. With reference to this case the man Abdur Eahiin bin Mirza of Chiru came before the Political Agent in connection with another claim made against him while he was on a casual visit to Bahrain. His name being an unusual one, enquiries were made and he was found to be the man who had purchased the three Somali boys whose case was referred to in last year's report.
