Occurrences.
A small vessel, belonging to Mr. Shipton, a British subject,
is attacked and plundered on her way from the Red Sea
by some dependents of the Imaum. His Highness obtains
satisfaction from the pirates, and affords redress to the
Government.
The British merchant ship Oscar, having run ashore off the
Coast of Jaalan, is plundered of her cargo by the Beni Boo
Ali and Beni Boo Hussain Tribes, to the amount of eight
lakhs
One lakh is equal to one hundred thousand rupees
of
rupees
Indian silver coin also widely used in the Persian Gulf.

and partial redress is obtained.
The Imaum invites Syud Hullal, the Governor of Soweik,

prisoner. He then sails for his African possessions.
Syud Hullal's sister harasses the Imaum's territories, and Syud
Humood bin Azan bin Ghes recovers from the Imaum his
patrimony of Sohar. The safety of Muskat is compromised,

Humood, who agrees to pay tribute, retaining the districts
of Khizza, Khaloora, Markies, and Sohar, Shinas and
Ghillal are restored to His Highness, who liberates Syud
Hullal, and permits him to return to Soweik.

Beniyas, they join his opponents ; and his allies, the Beni
Naeem of Ejman, treacherously turning against him, he is
defeated, and compelled to patch up a peace with the
Sohar Chief, upon nearly the same terms as the former.
The I maum, having collected a force of Beloochees, quits
Muskat for his African possessions, leaving his son, Syud
Hullal bin Saeed, and nephew, Mahomed bin Salim, as his
representatives at Muskat.
Shortly after his departure, the persons left in charge of the
Government, proceeding to Burka, are confined as prisoners
there by its Chief, Saood bin Ali, who proceeds immediately

Salim, but fails to reduce it. Humood bin Azan, of
Sohar, and Hullal bin Imaum, of Soweik, taking advantage
