differences until the end of ] 893, when, after a bloody Gncounter at
Mabrah, they submitted their feud to the arbitration of Ibrahim-Viin-Qais.
The comparatively civilised district of Batinah was not itself free from
internal trouble ; and a serious attack on the Hawasinah of Ghaizain, which
was made by the Bani J Umrin February 1891, was followed by severe
reprisals.
In 1893, the Bani Hina of ''Oman Proper became embroiled with the
Baui'Umr and Bani Kalban, apparently in consequence of aggressions
committed by the first -naTne r;5 on the A1 Khamaiyis near Hail Bani Hina,
and were also attacked, for a different reason, by the Bani Shakail;
both contests the Bani Hina were worsted in the field, and the
disputes were eventually settled by arbitration—the former, relating to
the Al Khamaiyis, by Ibrahim-bin-Qais, and the latter by Salih-bin- ; Ali.
In August 1894 Hilal-bin-Zahir, a prominent Shaikh of the Bani Hina
who had usurped the fort of Nizwa from an Al Bu Sa'idi Wali during the
reign of Turki, was murdered by the eldest son of the Saiyid whom he had
displaced ; but his son, Badar-bin-Hilal, retained possession of the place,
In 1893, Qurta^, a celebrated Sharqiyah raider, by threatening
Quryat obliged the Sultan to take special measures for the protection
of that town ; but he afterwards retired and begged for forgiveness. In
the same year an ancient feud broke out afresh between the Bani Muqim
and the Salut of Tiwi, and considerable loss of life occurred ; Saiyid
Fahad, who was sent by his brother to arrange the dispute, failed to
do so; and it was finally composed by Salih-bin-'Ali. At the end of
1888, and again in May 1889, fighting took place at Sur between the
Jannabah and Bani Bu ^Ali tribes, and the good offices of the Sultan
were exercised, not without effect, upon both occasions ; but in 1898,
when desultory hostilities began in Ja'alan between the Bani Bu 'Ali
and their old enemies the Bani Bu Hasan, last reconciled by Turki in
1887, it was Salih-bin-'Ali and not Saiyid Faisal who eventually
brought about a truce. The Bani Bu 'Ali were at this time much
weakened by a deadly internal blood-feud, which had originated in 1887
from the murder of the Tamimah of the tribe, Muhammad-bin-Majid,
by a man of the Sinadah section. The original murder was revenged by
the assassination of ^ usuf-bin-^Ali, a Shaikh of the Siuadah, and
Abdullah-bin-Salim was elected Tamimah in place of Muhammad : but
the feud continued, and in 1891 Hamud-bin-Majid, the slayer of Yusuf-
bin- Ali, was himself killed by a relative of his victim.
A tenible cyclonic storm may be mentioned here, which lasted from
midnight of the ^th to midnight of the 5th June 1890. Its ravages
