attack the fort of Bat, which had then but a slender garrison,
the two governors abandoned the attempt on Makniyat and
inarched towards Bat, near which place a battle was fought
which lasted from morning-prayer till noon. The Mussul
mans fought desperately, insomuch that their hands drooped
with wielding their weapons, and so great was the slaughter
among the rebels that they left off burying them. When
news of this signal defeat reached the Imam, he marshalled
a strong army and proceeded to Behla, where he arrived on
the eve of the feast of the Hijj, and besieged it for two

own and then returned to Nezwa.
He next collected a large army of Hadhr and marched
against Makniyat, and after a siege of three months, and a
severe engagement with the rebels, he captured the fort and
placed it under the command of Muhammad-bin-'Aly-bin
Muhammad, el-Harasy.
Meanwhile Said-bin-Mas^ud, el-Khayaly, and his adherents,
continued to excite disaffection against the Imam, keeping
up a correspondence with the el-Jibur, until they succeeded in
bringing them towards the coast, where they attacked many
of the edh-Dhahahakah and some of the Imam's officers.
