injuring any of the Seyyid^s people. On Mutlak's return to el-
Bereimy, the Seyyid Said made him a "present" of 40,000
dollars, but it seems highly probable, from certain statements
made in the sequel, that this sum was paid as Zahdk, or obli
gatory alms for religious purposes, and that it was stipulated
on the same occasion what amount of such tribute should be
paid annually by 'Azzan-bin-Kais for Sohar, and by the

the death of his cousin, ■'Azzan-bin-Kais, at Mokha, in the
Red Sea, on his way back from a pilgrimage to Mekkah. It
is stated that, prior to his departure, 'Azzan had confided
Sohar to one of the Al-Bu-Said, directing him to obey the
orders of the Seyyid Said, and in the event of his death to
surrender the fortress to-him. Determined, if possible, to be
the first on the spot. Said started forthwith, and outstripped
