Sir,
With reference to affairs at Sur, I have the honour
to draw your attention to an aspect of the situation which is
liable to "be overlooked when dealing with Immediate affairs at
Sur»
These Amirs of the J5ani jbu Ali> in sjite of their
title,are merely SheiJcns of a tnl&e. They are not strong enough
or influential enough amongst other tribes, to form an independ-
~ent State without considerable extraneous su^port^and,i think
are sufficiently intelligent to realise this fact. Their hoist-
~ing of n #n Saud r s flag^a fact likely to "fee resented "fey many
tribes,shows that they are now counting on such support e n#n
Saud is too far away to afford any immediate or material assist
-ance except perhaps in the supply of arms from JeddaJtuSuch a
supply is actually coming into Sur though I have "been unable 6©
far to ascertain its extent or whether it is "feeing sent in by
Ibn Saud himself.
The Amirs must realize that they cannot count on any
direct assistance from that quarter and it seems to me the sup-
-port which they are confidently looking forward to must come
from other parts of Oman itself»! think that Isa bin Saleh also
realizes this and that his fear of an immediate attack by ibn
Saud
