preparations; and the controversy closed for the time with a written
remonstrance on the subject of Phnfar, which was addressed by the
Turkish Wali of Basrah to Sayid Turki in March 1886 and was
ignored by the latter. In 1887 Saiyid Fadhl did not fail to complain of
the Aden incident, both to the British Resident at that place and to the
Viceroy of India; but no notice was taken of either communication.
Events in Dhofar from 1886 to 1895.
During- the year 1886 the authority of the Sultan of 'Oman was
practically in abeyance in Dhufar; but a detachment of his troops, too
weak to take the offensive, was soon sent to Murbat, or perhaps had never
been withdrawn from that place. In December the Sultan appointed
Saiyid Muhammad-bin-Sulaiman to be Wali of Dhufar, with Saiyid'Abdul
J alii as assistant, and gave him an armed escort of 50 Arabs and 20
Baluchis. The new governor seems to have succeeded in re-establishing
the Sultan's authority j but he remained, apparently, for less than a
year.
At the end of 1887 Saiyid Turki had resolved to send Sulaiman-bin
Suwailim back to Dhufar; and we find the Dlmfaris besieging
the 'Aqid, who at the moment represented the Sultan's authority, and
professing a determination to resist the return of Sulaiman by force.
The crisis appears to have been regarded as requiring a serious effort; and,
on the 13th of January 1888, Saiyid Turki despatched his sons Faisal
and Fahad with various notables of 'Oman, 200 fighting men and one
gun, on his steamship the " Sultani " to Dhufar. The expedition was
successful: Sulaiman-bin-Suwailim was installed as Wali, and five
disaffected Shaikhs of Dhufar, who had corresponded with Saiyid Fadhl
and with the Chief of Shihr, were arrested and placed in irons on board
ship. Upon the return voyage the " Sultani" ran out of coal, and,
much anxiety having been caused at Masqat by her non-arrival, H.M.S.
" Turquoise " at the end of February went in search of her, found her
with provisions exhausted near Has Madrakah, and brought her safely
to port.
Soon after these events Saiyid Turki died and was succeeded by his
son Faisal, the first seven years of whose reign passed quietly in Dhufar.
In 1891, a reinforcement of 100 Wahhabi mercenaries was sent from
Masqat to reinforce the garrison.
In December 1894 and January 1895 Dhufar was visited, and the
Samhan hills were explored, by Mr. and Mrs. T. Bent; and a survey of
the country was made by Khan Bahadur Imam Sharif, who accompanied
the party.
Proceedings of Saiyid Fadhl from 1887 to 1895.
Meanwhile Saiyid Fadhl had not renounced his hopes of recovering
Dhufar. His residence was at Constantinople ; his four sons known as
