the presence of the titular sovereign though a truce had
already been xxxaM^jt^L made*
While the Sultan can count on the assistance of
the Jeneheh section of the tribes at v/ur i doubt if he can do
any tiling if the Amir of Jaalan becomes rebellious.
The normal course of tribal erents will be for
the Amir of Jaalan to become the independent ruler of the
Sur district as the Imam of Oman has become the independent
ruler of the interior.
But Sur is dependent for its existence on Bombay>
Zanzibar and Mombasoa# It is a seafaring place and lives on i
its dhows* Thus economically it is dependent on the British
Government and ^iie Muftcat Government may ask for our
assistance indeed they asked me for such assistance in
December but 1 awaited the arrival of the ^ultan of iiuscat
before dealing with the matter#
1 have however for some time realised that the
whole question of Muscat would demand re-consideratiun by
next winter but 1 did not anticipate the immediate assumption
of power by the Amir of Jaalan who has hitherto expressed
friendship for the Buitan*
It will now, 1 considert be impossible for the
Sultan to visit Europe unless his health really necessitates
it in which case he will have to give someone his power of
attorney#
Without Gur the Sultan^ domains shrink consider-
ably though hie revenues are mainly derived from his Muscat
whether
and .batineh Customs# but I doubt/without our economic pressure
he can hold it# If we give this t his vain-glorious attitude
must be curbed and we must ariive at facts and not fancies#
I will await further report by the Political
A^ent# Muscat# and will deal with the matter at length#
1 have the honour to bet

Your most obedient servant#
