.356 JO ASM EES.
Passing over the countless intrigues which the Joasmee stooped
to commit, and confining the narrative to a
bare relation of the actual deeds he performed,
ihe doings of Shaikh Sultan in the year 1851 can be told in a word ;
he made peace with Shaikh Syud bin Tahnoon, out of spite to the
Wahabee, because he favoured Shaikh Muktoom more than himself.
He received a remonstrance from the Ameer for effecting the alliance,
■tind replied to His Highness that, in accordance with the wishes he ex
pressed, he would break off the friendship contracted,-—a promise it is
needless to say he never intended to fulfil, for it was opposed to his
interest to do so.
He rashed to the assistance of Syud Ghes, Chief of Sohar, in his
conflict with the Imaum of Muskat, according to engagement, and was
deceitful enough to accept presents in gold, and forsake the cause he
had faithfully promised to uphold.
Such was the character of the Joasmee s proceedings during the
year 1851.

and to fix the just amount of satisfaction to be demanded from Shaikh
Sultan bin Suggur; for although Captain Kembail wrote to Major
Hamerton on the subject of the piracy so early as the month of June
1852, and, receiving no reply up to the 3rd of August following, again
addressed him regarding it, and finally, on the 4th of February m the
succeeding year, found it necessary to write a

answer to his previous communications, it was not until the month of
August 1853 that a reply from that officer reached the ebic en a
