at Masqat, visited Sur and warned Turki against
undertaking operations by sea, at the same time refusing to grant him an
interview. Finally, about the end of the year, Saiyid Turki and his
principal adherent, Saif-bin-Sulaiman of the Bani Riyam, marched from
Sur, the former proceeding to Ja^alau and the latter taking the coast
route towards Masqat. By the middle of January 1871 Turki was at
Mudhaibi, threatening Samad with a force of 3,000 men, and Saif-bin-
Sulaiman had occupied Quryat on the coast; while Salih-bin-' , Ali was
holding Samad, and J Azzan, with his brother Ibrahim, was busily engaged
in preparing for the defence of Masqat and Matrah. ^
Saif-bin-Sulaiman attacked 'Azzan in Matrah, apparently on the
30th of January, and took the place all except two forts. Both Saif 'Azzan^
and 'Aszan were killed in this engagement: the latter, it is said, met
his death in the Jabru suburb of the town.

The usurpation of 'Azzan seems to have been, at the first, more dis
tasteful to the British authorities than that even of his pancidal pre
decessor. The arrogant and fanatical character of his counsellois, the
unfavourable influence of his administration on trade, and the fact that
he was not of the line of Sa^id, whom British officers had come to K.^aid
as the natural rulers of the country, were the principal objections "■ ! -,ai
