THE IMAMS OP 'OMAN.
He accordingly did so, Sultan thoroupon taking possession
of the Western fort and releasing Muhammad-bin-Khalfan,
who went forthwith to the Beit-el-Falj and garrisoned it
with fifty men of the Benn-Hina, under Khasif-bin-M{itar.
Sultan then appointed Khalfan-bin-Nasir, el-Bil-Saidy,
Wali of Maskat, having ordered him the day before, which
was the day on which the Western fort had been made over
to him, to destroy the fort of el-Matrah, which was at that
