The credit of the malcontent tribes and of their Shaikhs was as much
depressed by the partial failure of the rebellion as that of the Sultan
by its partial success ; and, except in the distant dependency of Dhufar,

the internal peace of 'Oman was not seriously disturbed during the
next four years. For a time, however, the Sultan continued to be
harassed by swarms of rapacious Shaikhs who crowded in fiom all
parts, but chiefly from Sur and Samail, to claim rewards for real
imaginary services rendered during the crises. f . T
In June 1895 there took place at Izki one of the periodical con ic s
