and he even extended his influence westwards over a part of the Mahra
country. Gradually 3 however, his rule, which was arbitrary and oppres
sive, fell into discredit; for, while he exacted forced' labour and
contributions for himself and his family and levied import and export
duty on all goods at 5 per cent., he was not long- successful in composino-
the dissensions among tribes, nor was his administration of justice as
between individuals applauded. At length, in January 1879, a general
revolution took place among the people, and he was obliged to flv the
country.

Abduilali, who had taken i leading part in the affair, paid a visit to Masqat
and induced the Sultan, then Saiyid Turki, to extend his authority once
more over this derelict corner of Arabia. Th einhabitants of Dhufar were
now divided into three parties, of which one headed by 'Awadh-bin-
Abdullah desired the Sultan of 'Oman for their master, while another led
by Awadh-bm-'Azzan aimed at the restoration of Saiyid Fadhl, and a
third, probably the largest, was in favour of independence.
An expedition by sea, despatched by Saiyid Turki under Sulaiman-
bin-Suwailim, reached Hasik at the eastern end of Dhufar in the end
of March or beginning of April 1879 and thence proceeded, partly by
watei and partly by land, along the coast to Sadah and so to Murbat,
where the whole force, consisting of about 100 men, arrived on the
A 1 *? 1, ' ' le P eo P^ e Murbat at once tendered their submission to
the Sultans representative; and, notwithstanding the hostility of a
majority of the A1 Kathir, Sulaiman-bin-Suwailim was able on the 11th
o Ma} to leport himself firmly established at the capital. One of his
nist acts, intended no doubt to conciliate the people, was to reduce the rate
of customs duty from the 5 per cent, taken by Saiyid Fadhl to 4 per cent.
At this tune the question of Dhufar was complicated by a dispute

m which the Sultan of ^Oman, by showing sympathy
with the Makalla Chief and sending an agent to reside for a short time
at his court, incurred the hostility of the ruler of Shihr. It followed that,
while the Chief of Makalla cordially supported the designs of the Sultan
