It will have been observed from the foregoing that the Sultan, Manageraent
between 1888 and 1894, played on the whole a less conspicuous and
successful part in reconciling tribal differences than his subject Salih-bin-
'Ali or the Ibrahim-bin-Qais: in fact his policy, from
carelessness rather than from incapacity, was apathetic and estranged
from him even the best disposed tribes.
Other aspects of his rule, hardly more satisfactory, also claim Otheibran-^
attention. The reign of Faisal commenced with the loss of 'Awabi and c er ^ u O en f 0V
an unsuccessful expedition to recover it; and his efforts dining the
next few years to extend his direct authority, or to recover it where
lost, were all equally unfortunate. In September 1891 the Sultaa went
by sea to Masna'ah, taking his brother Fahad and 150 men with him,
and marched thence by land to Nakhl, Khodh and Samail; but if, a*
is believed, his object was to visit 'Oman Proper and promote his
interests there, it was frustrated by the Bani Riyam, who refused to
give him passage into that district. In N ovembev 1891 taisal left by
land for Batinah with a field gun, but the vigilance of Ibrahim -bin-Qais
prevented the attempt on ; Awabi which it was probably his intention to
make. In June 1893, leaving Fahad in charge of Masqat, the Sultan
proceeded to Nakhl and detached a force to take possession of Mansur,

peaceful transfer of the place was apparently expected, but the negotia

whom he himself had summoned, were approaching under Sulaiman-bm-
Saif, a dismissed Wali of Masnaah, retreated in haste from Nakhl to
Barkah upon the coast. In June 1894- riots took place at Matrah
