nable, held out against him. In spite, however, of the petty
wars to which this imprudent enterprise gave rise between
the el-Ghafiry and the allies of the Al-Bu-Said, Sultan
deemed the country sufficiently tranquil to permit his per
formance of the Hijj. He accordingly set out for Mekkah,
a.d . 1803, accompanied by a train of 'Omany notables.
During his absence, his nephew Bedr, the son of his de

nothing less than a combined effort on the part of the 'Oma-
nis could arrest their onward progress. In this emergency
Sultan took counsel of the el-1 aaruby governor of Nakhl,
who advised him to assemble all the chiefs of Oman to a
conference on the subject. The council, which was held at
Barkah, was attended by Sultan's brothers, 1 alib and Mu
