THE IMAMS OP 'OMAN.
Then he collected a large force and proceeded to Mom-
basah, which he attacked with a fleet of large ships and
small boats, first opening fire upon the battery of Kaabras,
which was returned by the guns of the battery. After he
had disembarked and pitched his tent, ^Abdallah-bin-Salim,
ezh-Zhahiry, and Hamad-bin-Ahmed, Al-Bu-Saidy, rushed
to the assault with their people, followed by the entire
force; but the assailants having been repulsed, the Seyyid
went back to Zanzibar and from thence embarked forMaskat,
where he remained some time. He then went on a second
expedition against Mombasah, taking a large force with him.
On this occasion the Benu-Mazrua capitulated, on condition
that if they surrendered the fort to him they should be at
liberty to reside at the place. The Seyyid having agreed to
these terms returned to Zanzibar, after placing a garrison
of Belooches in the fort. Suleiman-bin-Himyar-bin-Mu-
hammad, el-Yaaruby, who had accompanied the expedition
against Mombasah, now received the Seyyid's permission to
retire. He accordingly returned to his home at el-Abyad,
where he died a few days after.
On the Seyyid's return to Maskat, the Benu-Mazrua in
fringed the treaty of peace by besieging the fort, which the
Belooches eventually surrendered to them. Thereupon he
levied a large force, and on reaching Mombasah invested the
place, and sent a party to attack the fort which commands
the road leading to the country of the Wanlkah, which they
captured. When those who garrisoned the castle heard
Bahrein, he sailed back with his fleet to Muskat, on the 20th of Novem
ber. Various reasons were assigned for his Highness having abandoned
an enterprise, the preparations of which had cost him so much labour
and treasure; but it was generally thought that he either suspected
some of his immediate adherents of treachery, or that the unexpected
intelligence of a dangerous and spreading rebellion having broken out
in his possessions in the African coast had induced him to forego any
further attempt upon Bahrein, and hasten back to Muskat." Bombay
Covernment Selections, No. xxiv. pp. 19C-7.
