has become a recognized dynasty; but the gradual increase
in the number of rival and aspiring Seyyids has been one
fertile source of intestinal feuds which have arrested the ■

and intermixture with negro blood, have gradually estrang

Rebellion followed rebellion until at last
after the rebellion of 1913-1919. when the Ghafiri and
Hinawi elements combined for the first time in opposition
to the Arms Warehouse which we had induced the Sultan to
establish, a fresh state was formed by Sheikh Isa bin
Saleh al Harithi, supporting a puppet Imam of the Khalili
lamily # who are identified with the Mutawwa or extremist
