and in September, with assintance from the Shaikh of Dibai, Sa'id
himself eommenced a short but successful campaign against Qais.
Khaburah was taken after a two days' bombardment; Sultan-bin-Saqar,
the Qasimi Shaikh, was detached from the cause of the enemv; Shinas
fell; and Qais surrendered. The settlement which followed trans
ferred Sohar to Saiyid Sa'id, but it left llustaq and Hibi in the posses
sion of Qais, to whom also a subsidy of ^200 a month was granted: thus
came to an end the separate Sohar principality, or what by the British
authorities had been treated as such when, in the year 1849, they con
cluded with its chief an anti-slavery treaty. Sa'id was now master of
the whole sea coast, and his reputation in ^Oman stood hig-her than ever
before,—a result to which his judicious political arrangements had
contributed no less thau the success of his military operations.
During* the last visit of Sa^id to Zanzibar, 'Oman seems, apart from
the inevitable turmoil caused by a return of the Wahhabis upon the f-tage,
to have remained fairly quiet.
Aggressions of the Wahhabis and Egyptians, 1829-56.
The dangers which threatened 'Oman from the side of Najd during
the later part of Sa^id^s reign are so little connected with the course of
local affairs just related as to be capable of separate consideration; their
appearance and disappearance were regulated chiefly by the crises
through which the Wahhabi kingdom itself passed during this period.
By 1830 the power of the Wahhabis, temporarily crushed at its centre
in 18 J 8, had revived to a considerable extent in Eastern Arabia ; and
in 1833 their pressure was felt once more on the frontiers of J Onian.
The British Government in India, who admitted no responsibility for
the defence of the Saiyid's dominions by land, having approved his
intention of entering into a friendly understanding with the Wahhabi
Amir, a compact was formed between the Saiyid and the Wahhabis under
which the limits of direct government of the contracting powers were
defined and Sa id undertook to pay <§5,000 a year as Zakat to the ruler of
Najd. A further stipulation by which each party was bound to assist in
suppressing rebellion in the dominions of the other was deemed imprudent
by the British authorities, especially in view of the hostile relations
exibting between the Wahhabis and the

of Egypt; but Sa^id assured
them that the observance of this article would be regulated, on his part,
by a stiict regard for the wishes of the British Government. Thearrange-
