ARTICLE VII

If any tribe or others shall not desist from plunder and piracy، the friendly Arabs shall act against them according to their ability and circumstances; and an arrangement for this purpose shall take place between the friendly Arabs and the British، at the time when such plunder and priacy shall occur.

ARTICLE VIII

The putting men to death after they have given up their arms is an act of piracy، and not of acknowledged war; and if any tribe shall put to death any persons، either Mahomedans or others، after they have given up their arms، such tribe shall be held to have broken the peace، and the friendly Arabs shall act against them، in conjunction with the British، and، God willing، the war against them shall not cease until the sur- render of those who performed the act، and of those who order- ed it.

ARTICLE IX

The carrying off of slaves (men، women، or children) from the coasts of Africa or elsewhere، and the transporting them in vessels، is plunder and piracy; and the friendly Arabs shall do nothing of this nature.

ARTICLE X.

The vessels of the friendly Arabs، bearing their flag above described، shall enter into all the British ports، and into the ports of the allies of the British، so far as they shall be able to effect it، any they shall buy and sell therein; and if any shall attack them، the British Government shall take notice of it.

ARTICLE XI

These conditions aforesaid shall be common to all tribes and persons who shall hereafter adhere thereto، in the same manner as to those who adhere to them at the time present. Ras-ool-Khyma، in triplicate، at mid-day، Saturday the twenty-second of the month of Rubee-ool-Awul،
