ceeded, but could see no one. This circumstance also he
kept a profound secret.
Again, while travelling on his she-camel from ^Oman to

Sahamah, and perceiving some one standing before him in
the road, he accosted him with the salutation of peace. The
reply was : "Peace be upon you also, O Imam oPOman." He

contravene what is here written after it has been made

of Rabia-el-Awwal, a.h . 1160 [27th April, 1747]. On
the demise of my grandfather, Ahmed-bin-Said appointed
