, the son of Fadhl, was living at the Qubbah palace near Cairo
as a guest of the Khedive of Egypt, and while there he opened negotia-

Great Britain in recovering possession of Dhufar; but his advances were
discouraged, and in the following summer he returned to Constantinople.

to be kept at Cairo, Jiddah and Aden; and the Sultan of Oman was
advised to strengthen his position in Dhufar in regard both to personnel
and to materiel.
