July 26th 19S0.
There is great confusion in Oman and there is no leader.
Several of the tribes and towns have offered their allegiance
to the Sultan of Muscat. All the prominent Sheikhs have been
sent letters by the local government offering amnesty. Tomorrow
envoys leave for Semail, the Qazi of Muscat is among them. A
groat effort is being made to regain for the Sultan the alleg-
-iance of Oman t I cannot predict final result yet, 9% except
that the (?sign8)are very favourable, and there is no danger.
There may possibly be a meeting at Sib, if so I shall have to
attend it. The I main b iVali has fled to Wad^ Muawal.
My visit to India will be delayed for a short time by this,
but the Sultan can wait,so it does not matter. Arabs entirely
conduct the situation at present and that Hacollum should not
,
return at this stage is politically of the utmost importance#
On this point I beg you to trust my tE discretion and to issue
orders to this effect if you think fit, and informing mo.
If possible H.M'b ship Kaplegle should leave for Muscat
at once.
