Turks were at this time, on account of the recent annexation o£ Hasa,
regarded with much suspicion throughout Arabia; and the treatment
hy the Sultan of the Turks with whom he was brought in contact
appears to have been so uncivil as to necessitate a hint by the British
authorities that he should be more circumspect. In 1873 some
trouble was caused by the purchase of four persons at Masqat, as
slaves, by the chief officer of a passing Turkish vessel; and between
1875 and 1886, as explained in the separate history of Dhufar, the
Turks seems to have encouraged the pretensions of the Moplah, Saiyid
^adhl, to ownership of that district of the ' Oman Sultanate.
Geneial relations of the British Government with Turki
throughout his reign, 1871-88.
The financial and naval policy of the British Government towards
Saiyid Turki has been described, stage by stage, in some of the foregoing
paragraphs; but a few other features of Anglo- 'Omani relations still
remain to be mentioned.

3-pounder guns, with carriages and ammunition complete, for the defence

at Masqat with much eclat and rejoicing.

to enfoice it, in co-opeiation with the British Government, tended to make
him unpopular with certain classes of his subjects. His loyalty in slave
