at Masqat, had endeavoured to sound
him as to the probable attitude of the British Government in case of a
fresh rising against the Sultan. In April 1900 there were short-lived
rumours of an attack on Masqat, to be attempted by the tribes of
Sharqiyah as a protest against the indemnity export tax still levied
upon Hinawi produce ; and the Sultan considered it advisable to
strengthen Quryat and Sib, while Sa' id-bin-Ibrahim of Hazam moved
to his assistance with 300 men, A little later Isa-bin-Salih, Ilaiithi,

Samail, but his intrigues
there met with no success and the Sultan refused him pei mission to visit
Masqat; 'Isa, it should be explained, was a dignified, ascetic and
bigoted character, on whom in this respect the mantle of his father Shaikh
SiTlih-bin-'Ali had fallen, while his] younger brothers 'Ali and Ahmad
(or Hamad) were mere commonplace marauders. In 1001 the family of
Shaikh Salih, as mentioned in an earlier paragraph, had a share in
obstructing the first expedition which went, under the auspices of t e
Sultan, to examine the coal deposits in the hinterland of Sui , and in the
same year the Sultan received from Isa-bin-Salih a threatening letter
relating to the manumission of slaves, in which the hand of Hi a
'Amr was thought to be traceable. • .i loaq

prominence until August 1903, when, during tlie visit of Saiyid Faisal to
Sur, news was received that Isa-bin-Salih and his two brothers with a
considerable following were on their way to Western Ua^ar to^
Hazam and Ruetaq. Hazam was at this time still in the possession o
Sa'id-bin-Ibrahim, whose sister the Sultan had married in 1898, and
Rustaq was held by the fratricide Hamud -bin-'Azzan. With both of these
