the bulk of his force consisted of Al Wahibah, but the Hirth, Habus
Hajriyin, Bani Bu Hasan and Bani Ruwahah were also represented
of whom the Hajriyin had been among the most consistent supporters of
Saiyid Turki's lather. 1 he Masakirah gave money aid to the rebels on
this occasion, but sent no men to join them. On the 15th of
June H.M.S. "Teazer" opportunely returned to Masqat: and on
the 17th Ibrahim-bin-Qais joined the rebel camp. The insurgents,
who numbered at least 1,000 men while the defenders of Masqat
did not exceed 200, appeared on the evening of the i7th to be
advancing to the assault j and, after a warning had been sent them,
H. M. S. "Teazer" at the request of the Sultan threw some shells into
the valley behind the town. A few rounds were fired at night also to
alarm the rebels and prevent their gathering for an attack. On
the next day the"Teazer" ran round to Matrah and dislodged some
rebel sharpshooters whose fire from adjacent houses was galling the
garrison of the fort; and advantage was taken of the opportunity to
oblige all British subjects in the Khojah fort to leave it and go on board
vessels ; the " Teazer " then returned to Masqat, where she repeated the
artillery demonstration of the previous day with the same satisfa- toiy
effect. On the 19th of June the rebels opened communication
with the Sultan; but he refused to discuss matters unless they retired
to Ruwi, which they accordingly did. On the 20th the "Teazer"
carried Turki to Matrah, whence he proceeded to Bait-al-Falaj for an
interview with Salih-bin-^Ali; the latter demanded $20,000 as the price
of bs retirement, but the Sultan was firm in his refusal to pay any*
ing. -During their occupation of Matrah various atrocities had been
committed by the rebels, including the murder of children and of
unarmed negroes. On the 21st of June the Mutawwa' force broke up,
