expressed a wish to separate Gwadar from the rest of his dominions and
to leave it to Muhammad; but the idea was not countenanced by the
Bnfcifih authorities, and no step was taken by Turki towards carrying it

the treacherous Salih-WAi;, Harithi, responded in loyal terms to the
annonneement by Faisal of his own snceession; and, contrary to the
