In May 1896 Shaikh Salih-bin-'Ali, taking advantage of the discon
tent caused by the imposition of a part of the rebellion indemnity-tax
on the Ghafiris—a circumstance which will be explained further on-
induced part of the Bani Jabir of
Wadi
A seasonal or intermittent watercourse, or the valley in which it flows.
Samail to join with the Bani
Ruwahah in attacking Saijah, which was held by loyal Bani Jabir and
by Bani Hadhram, and himself assumed command of the operations
This, however, was the last appearance on the scene of the veteran
intriguer, whom a random shot now laid low, in the month of September,
at an age of over 75; during thirty years of his life he had played
a conspicuous part in the politics of 'Oman, generally in opposition to
the Sultan of the day, and he had often been suspected of personal
aspirations to the supreme power. It is a remarkable fact that Salih's
son Abdullah had predeceased him, surviving by an even shorter i^eriod big
recent perfidy at Masqat; and the life of Hamud the Jahafi, also, wa?
now not far from its close.
The Sultan took advantage of the consternation created by Shaikh
Sahh's death to organise an expedition against the Bani Ruwahah, from
whom, by removing the tax on the Ghafiris, he at the same time
detached theii allies of the Bani Jabir; but his movements were too
slow ; his huge host of several thousand mercenaries, when they arrived
within striking distance of the enemy, refused to fight; and in the end
the Sultan was obliged to return to Masqat, having achieved nothing but
the expenditure of some §60,000, which he could ill afford.
In June 1896 a disturbance at Nakhl had been quelled by the Sultan
in person at the head of a few hundred men, but exactly a year later
trouble was lenewed there; on this second occasion, however, the Wali
of Barkah was able to cope with it unaided.
