retirement of Hamud-bin-Faisal of Rustaq into private life and the
succession to his place of Ibrahim-bin-Qais^ for from this time onwards
the rebellious line of . Qais had their chief seat in the inaccessible Rustaq
valley, instead of upon the coast. On the 8th of December 1S73 Gwadar
wa s taken by Salim, who appeared there unexpectedly with k handful
of followers and escaladed the fort, possibly with the connivance of the
Walij but his tenure of the place, as will appear from the history of
Gwadar, lasted only three days, after which he became once more a home
less wanderer.
Towards the end of 1873 Turki, who at the time was unmarried, es
poused the daughter of his cousin Hamad-bin-Salim.
At the beginning of 1874, Turki being at the time prostrated by
sickness, Salih-bin--'Ali, on a false report of his death, marched from the Masqat,
Sharqiyah district on Masqat with a force of 300 tribesmen, chiefly Hirth,
Habus, Hajriyin and Al Wahibah, among whom were also a few Ban
Ruwahah. As a candidate for the succession Salih brought with him
Hamud, a son of the late ruler 'Azzan-bin-Qais, whose age was about 12
years. The ^Aqq pass having been denied them by its Ghafiri custodians,
Salih's Hinawi force took the Qahza route and arrived at Ruwi, entirely
unexpected, on the 17th of January. A small detachment of Wahhabi
mercenaries sent out to attack them was defeated with loss, and the rebels
then took possession of Mat rah; they respected the fort of the Khojahs,
over which floated the British flag, but they plundered indiscriminately
in the bazaars, and part of the damage so caused fell upon British Indian
subjects. Arrangements were made by the British authorities to support
Turki in resisting the further progress of the rebels ; but the necessary
means were not immediately at hand, and the Sultan prefened to tieat
with the enemy rather than to protract matters till ships could auive.
On the 20th of January terms were arranged by the Sultan at Masqat
with Hamud-bin-Sa'id, Jahafi, of the Al Wahibah tribe, afterwards
a celebrated freebooter and rebel. The principal conditions on which the
insurgents promised to retire were that they should recerve 86,000 in ca^h
and 100 bags of rice ; that sales of confiscated property made by the Gov
eminent of 'Azzan-bin-Qais to the Hirth and Bani Ruwahah should be
confirmed; that the property of the Khalili should be restored
family; and that the proceedings of the rebels themselves should be co
doned; a stipulation also was added against any attack by the Saltan o
Ibrahhn-bin-Qais, whom Salih-bin-'Ali undertook to restrain. H.M. •
