found an explanation of the circumstances in which ; in November
1901, 'Oman was brought into telegraphic communication with the
outside world by means of a cable laid from Jashk to Masqat.
After 1899, in consequence of the generally quiet state of the country,
the protection of British subjects in 'Oman and the punishment of
offences against them demanded, but for one case of exceptional gravity,
comparatively little attention. Tribal raids of the ordinary type, however^
continued.
The Sultan, being unable to recover compensation from the tribesmen,
made good out of his own pocket the losses, amounting to nearly §1,200,
of foui Biitish traders of Quryat, whose goods were carried off in
the plunder of the Quryat bazaar in June 1899 by a gang from
Sharqiyah under Hamad, a son of the late Shaikh Salih-bin-'Ali.
< T1:ie most sei, ious case of the period arose from the loss of a British
ship upon the southern coast of Arabia, where the people are wild and
uncivilised, and where the treatment of shipwrecked crews has always been
a matter of grave uncertainty. On the 2nd of August 1903 a French
merchant ship, the "Amiral Gueydon/'having caught fire by an explo
sion, was beached at Ras Hasik. The crew and passengers, 56 persons
m all, were protected by the Sultan's representative in Dhufar and by the
Shaikh of Muibat until the end of the monsoon, and were then despatched
in native boats to Masqat; but upon the way there, in the neighbour-
ood of lias Madrakah, they were picked up at sea by the Russian
steamer « TrouvorExactly a year later, on the 2nd of August 1904,
