British reprisals after Burton’s attack forced a treaty with the Habar Awal

Evidence

The British authorities at Aden reacted promptly to the incident in the manner of the times. Two vessels of the India command were dispatched to blockade the coast until Stroyan’s murderer and Speke’s attacker were surrendered to justice. The following year the elders of the Habar Awal clan announced that Stroyan’s assailant had been executed by his own kin and offered 15,000 dollars as compensation. Then in November, a treaty was signed with the Habar Awal in favour of British commerce at Berbera and to provide for the eventual appointment of a British Resident. — I.M. Lewis, I. M.
