Coast Shaikhs may from time to time pay Xbn Saud some sort
of "tribute" in order to prevent the latter inciting his
tribes to raid their hinterland territories.
6. OMAN . Table D.
At various times in the past <the last
occasion being in 1865) the Wahabis, with Baraimi as their
centrej have ravaged the Sultanate with fire and sword, a^
exacted tribute from more than one Sultana No place in
Oman, however, (with the exception of Baraimi), has been
in occupation of the .fahabis and no tribute has been forth 1 -
coming from Muscat for many years.
7. Tribute.
In the course of this letter and in the
attached Tables mention has been made of "tribute 1 (zakat)
paid to the Wahabis. There are two sorts of tribute which
are paid to Ibn Saud. There is (a) that which is paid by
the inhabitants of an area under Wahabi occupation, which
is of the Same nature as taxes paid to any government, and
which is a recognition of Wahabi rule.
(b) There is also the "tribute" which is
exacted by Ibn Saud from Shaikhs outside his kingdom under
threat of raids or other unpleasantness. This of course is
the modern blackmail, or the ancient Danegeld, and is in no
way a sign of submission to rfahabi rule. Such tribute as
is exacted by Ibn Saud in the territories Kast of the Blue
Line is Danegeld, pure and simple.
