East India Company were already assembled. On the 19th of October
1829, after a small part of the " OscarV - ' cargo, consisting of Kashmir
shawls had been recovered at Masqat on payment of salvage, the
Resident, with the British squadron, and the Sultan, with two
frigates, sailed in company for Sur; but no traces of the missing
property were discovered at that place. Commodore Collinson then
visited Khor Jaramah, where ho had a long interview with Muhammad-
bin-'Ali, the chief Shaikh of the Bani Bu 'Ali, and persuaded him to
give up a few shawls and cash to the amount of §1,200, this being all
that the Shaikh, according to his own solemn oath, had it in his power
to restore. As the offending tribes could not be punished by means of
a naval expedition, the .Resident abandoned the idea of further
recoveries, and instead " endeavoured to create such an impression on
the minds of the inhabitants of this dangerous coast as would bo likely
ff to prove highly beneficial to any British ship that might have the
« misfortune to suffer a similar accident to that which had befallen the
Oscar ; and so the proceedings terminated.
After the difficulties with the Bani Bu 'Ali, encountered together
in 1820-21, the British authorities in India never failed to show their
solicitude for the interests of Saiyid Sa'id, at times restraining him
from imprudent enterprises in Bahrain, Persia or Turkish Iraq,
and at ^ others directly supporting his authority against rebels,
or enabling him to obtain a'reduction of Wahhabi demands. The
