his men against those who were drawn up in front of the
fort, and while so engaged he was struck in the chest by a
musket-ball fired from the fort. His followers carried him
to the house of Mahmiid-eVAjamy, where he expired just
as they reached the door. They concealed his death from
the rest of the force for three days and buried him during
the night. Muhammad's followers were equally ignorant
that Khalf had shared the same fate.
During this interval the garrison sent a letter to Muham
mad by a woman of the adjoining quarter, offering to sur
render the fort to him. At the said time a woman of the
Hallet-esh-Shiaah went towards the fort to apprise the garri
son that Muhammad was dead. These two women meeting
on the way communicated to each other the news of which
they were the bearers. Thereupon the one who carried the
letter returned with it to the fort and told them that Muham
mad was dead. They then told her that Khalf had met with
a similar fate and that they had buried him in the fort, which
intelligence she forthwith communicated to Muhammad's
followers. On hearing this the men took to their animals
and departed to their homes, none remaining but Seif-bin-
Sultan and some of the el-Yanrubah; for Muhammad-bin-
Nasir had always retained Seif-bin-Sultan near his person,
both during peace and war. Seif-bin-Sultan then approached
the fort, the gate of which was opened to him, and the gar
rison came forward and said : " The fort is yours and we
submit to you." He accordingly took possession of the
fort and placed it in charge of his officers. From thence
he proceeded to er-Rastak, which surrendered to him ; then

accompanied him thither, and where the Kadhi, sheikh
Nasir-bin-Suleiman-bin-Maddad, en Naaby, set him up, he

llamadhan, a.h . 1140 [2nd April, 1728.]
