In consequence of renewed complaints of looting a fresh truce of three
days, from the 4th to the 6th of March inclusive, had now been demanded
and obtained by the Resident ; this was done in order that the owds as
well as the persons, of the British Indian traders might be placed' in
safety at Makallah before greater damage occurred. During the «h and
5th of March goods continued to be removed, but under increasing
fnctmu w.th the rebels; and on the 6th a panic took place, and the
n is i Indians all returned to the Matallah cove. The Sultan thoueh
warned Of the responsibility he might incur by his refusal, declined to
extend the trace, even for the purpose of removing the remaining property
of the Indians; and on the 7th of Mareh hostilities were resumed
On the 7th of March, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Major Haves
Sadlei, having obtained a short cessation of hostilities, proceeded in a
boat to the customs house and informed Salih-bin-'Ali personally of the
oi-ders passed by the Government of India on the representations of the
Hanthi Shaikhs : they were merely to the effect that a reunion of 'Oman
with Zanzibar was out of the question, and that the property of
British subjects must be respected, otherwise active measures for its
protection would be taken. Shaikh Salih admitted his responsibility for
the damage done by the rebels and promised to pay full compensation-
at the same time be requested that the property of British subjects which
still remained m the town might be removed, but he was informed that
t us was impossible, especially as the lives of British subjects appeared
to be no longer safe among the invading Bedouins. On the same day
the Sultan applied to the Resident for active assistance in expelling the
rebels from Masqat, but under the previous orders of the Government
nis request was refused.
On the 8th of March further looting took place.
