THE IMAMS OF 'OMAN.
order; " Precede Muhammad-bin-Nasir into ^Otnan, and
make arrangements to subdue all such as may disobey my
commands, and do every thing in your power to support
Muhammad-bin-Nasir. ,, The latter accordingly remained
with Suud, while Mutlak set out for ^Oman. On reaching el-
Bereiray he convened all the esh-Shamal Arabs and attacked
Shinas, 1 the fort of which he captured, and then placed it in
charge of Muhammad-bin-Ahmed, et-Tinjy.
On Muhammad-bin-Nasir's return to 'Oman he wrote to
Mutlak, advising him to attack Sohar. Whereupon the
latter called upon the Benu-Naim and Kutb, the ezh-Zhawa-
hir, and all the Arabs of the neighhourhood of el-Bereimy
to join him forthwith. Having mustered a large force he
descended upon Sohar and surrounded it. Sohar was still
held by 'Azzan-bin-Kais, but being attacked with small-pox
at the time of the siege he had appointed the Seyyid Said
to act as his deputy. Said accordingly opposed the Wah-
habis with what forces he had, while Mutlak was joined by
Hamid-bin-Nasir, el-Ghafiry, and Muhammad-bin-Nasir,
el-Jabry, both bringing large contingents, insomuch that
he is said to have had a disposable army of three thou
sand men; but finding that he could not effect an entrance
into Sohar he marched with his forces to the sea-coast.
On approaching el-Masnaah they ascended the

Miiawal, and when they reached el-'Arik they attacked and
stormed its Hujrah, killing all those who held it, excepting
such as effected their escape. Proceeding to Afy, Mutlak
encamped in the open country, and Muhammad-bin-Nasir
occupied a house at ezh-Zhahir. At this juncture Malik-bin-
Seif, el-Yaaruby, joined them, whereupon the garrison of
the outer Hujrah fled, leaving nearly all their stores behind
them, and took refuge in the Hujrat-esh-Sheikh. Therc-
1 Shines is situated on the el-Batinah coast, about thirty-five miles to
the northward of Sohar. Wellsted describes it as " a small town, with
a fort and a shallow lagoon, affording anchorage for small boats."
