ment just described appears to have been negotiated with the Wahhabi
general Sa'ad-bin-Mutlaq by Saiyid Sa'id immediately before his third
expedition to East Africa, but there is nothing to show how long the tribute
promised continued to be paid. The abortive combination formed by Sa'id
and the Wahhabis in 1836 for the purpose of expelling Hamud-bin-
'Azzan from Sohar and Rustaq has already been noticed under the head of
internal affairs.
In 1839 the Egyptians occupied the position in Central Arabia from
which they had ousted the Wahhabis ; but they continued the domineer
ing policy of their predecessors towards 'Oman, and they even made use
of the same local agents, namely Sa'ad-bin-Mutlaq and Bin-Battal. Sa id,
in order to promote his designs on Bahrain, which he had never abandoned,
was disposed at first to conform his policy to that of Muhammad Ali,

of Egypt; but, on becoming aware of the anti-Egyptian senti
ments of the British Government in what concerned Eastern Arabia, he
associated himself w T ith their views, underwent the reconciliation
already mentioned with his kinsman Hamud of Sohar, who was a con
sistent opponent of Egyptian influence, and disregarded a peremptory
demand made on him for assistance by Khurshid

as he could not avoid he carried on henceforward with the cognisance and
approval of the British Government. The danger to Oman fiom the
Egyptians ceased only on the withdrawal of the latter from Isajd in
1840.
At the beginning of 1845, during Sard's longest absence from Oman,
Sa'ad -bin-Mutlaq appeared once more at Baraimi in his oiiginal and
familiar character of Wahhabi agent, captured Majis, and demanded
tribute of Sa 'id's representative (Saiyid Thuwaini) and of Hamud (the
Sohar chief) at the rate of 820,000 and $5,0( 0 per annum respectively.
Hamud was ready to appeal to arms, but Thuwaini prefened to temporise ,
and a truce was patched up on the understanding that $5,000 down
should be paid on account of Sohar. while the rest of the demand was
referred to Saiyid Sa'id at Zanzibar. This arrangement was m conso

on Barkah, and began to collect a huge levy of tribesmen, large y am
