at Hisn Samail where he had ^one for the purpose of replacing, a Ghafiri
garrison by one of Baluchis. The fort guards at Matrah, who were
partly Baluchis, acknowledged Turki without hesitation and put him in
possession of the place ; but the Bani Bu Hasan holders of the Masqat
forts declined to admit him to the capital without orders from 'Abdul
'Aziz; and the latter, probably alarmed by Turki's extraordinary
conduct, sent them orders to hold out until he should himself arrive to
their assistance. On the 19th of December, Turki, having received
Ghafiri reinforcements from Nakhl and a few Wahhabis from the faithful
M all of Sohar, occupied the heights above Masqat town ; and on the
21st, after two days of harmless skirmishing with the defenders, he
entered the place unopposed. The forts held out for a few days moreand
then surrendered. Turki had been joined soon after his arrival at
Matrah by the notorious Hamud-bin-Sa'id, Jahafi, with 30 men.
Incident. An lllcident of these operations was the improper use by Turki's
adherents of the British flag, -.vhich they hoisted on a boat sent by Turki
from Matrah with a letter to Colonel Miles. The boat was fired on
as it passed, by the Masqat forts ; but, an ample apology having been
made by both sides for the impropriety of which they had been guilty, the
matter was allowed to drop.
