This intrigue was quickly followed by another
In the month of March 1851 arrived at Debaye, on his wav to
Aboothabee, one Moobaruk bin Suroor, the Chief of the Monasir with
^etters from Shaikh Sultan bin Suggur to Shaikh Syud bin Tahnoon
Negotiatmns it would seem, had for some time past been carried on by
the chiefs above mentioned, and the letters now in the possession of
Moobaruk were nothing more or less than the acceptance of offers that
had been made to the Joasmees by the Beniyas Chief.
The envoy had scarcely placed foot on the soil of Debaye ere Shaikh
Muktoom became aware of the important documents he held in his
ands. Moobaruk was seized, and thrown into confinement; a plain
and distinct intimation was sent to Shaikh Sultan, that if he Wished to
keep on good terms with the Debaye Chief, then mn S t he neither per
mit the letters nor the envoy to go to Aboothabee.
Shaikh Sultan, unwilling to break with Shaikh Muktoom, but more
unwilling to remain at feud with Shaikh Syud, did not boldly and
manfully declare his determination to make peace with the Beniyas
rether Muktoom wished it or no, but resorted, to effect his object, to
his usual mode of duplicity. J '
He feigned compliance with the desires of the Debaye Chief, by
despatching his Secretary, Mahomed bin All Boo Shelabee, to bring
back the etters he had sent, and so soon as he returned to Shargah h^
forwarded the identical documents in charge of a man of the Aboo
Heyle straight to Shaikh Syud at Aboothabee.
The result of the affair was that peace was concluded between the
Joasmee and Beniyas Chiefs, and Shaikh Mnktoom, fearful for him Jf
drew more closely to the Wahabees.
The time was now at hand for the arrival of His Highness the
maum from his possessions at Zanzibar, on the African Coast. He
had long talked of repairing to Muskat, for the purpose of adjusting
and arranging the quarrel that had been so unhappily raging betweef
his son and the Sohar Chief. etween
Shaikh Muktoom, enraged with the Joasmee for the alliance he had
