Bushire,
Sir
In continuation of my letter BTc 5,C. of todays date
I have the honour to repoBt that a messenger from Shai h Isa
bin Salih has Just come in to see me as the mail goes out
It would ap; ear that there has been a split between Isa
on the one side and the Imam and Ilamyar bin Nasir on the other
The jjollce report which I also forward today suggests
that in consequence of the want of support by Isa and the
falure at Bfastaq the tribes are falling away from tM Imam.
In any case Isa has Lent a messenger,a very res ectable
and well to do loo ing man from Zanzibar who is temporarily
at his gardens in Oman to sound me.
Isa wishes to have a meeting with me in ocder to come to
terms with the British but does not appear to have changed
his mind regarding the inefficiency of the Sultan.
I am detaining this mesi enger in order that my various
letters may reach Sir Percy Cox at Basra,
®he Sultan is stil^ at Masnat^h and the mes: enger informs
me that had he been in Muscat he would have advised him not to
move as there was certain to have been fighting within a month
amongst the rebels themselves*
Shai h Isa v/ishes to come down to Itoryat to meet me and
discuss m&tters but beyond stating that he wishes to do this
and to me friends with the British does not go into detail,
The messenger appear* to suggest that he is willing to
rely on us*
