AND ANALYSIS.
Iv
breaking the peace he was to transfer it to the other. He
was also to act as Wali, while Sultan was to have the re
venues of Maskat to expend on the army and navy and the
defence of the eastern fort.
On one of his subsequent visits to Maskat Sultan sent for
the commandant of the eastern fort, and by threatening his
life induced him to surrender the fort. Following out his
former artful policy, he wrote to tell his brother Kais that
he was acting on his behalf, and again urged him to restrain
any action on the part of their brother, the Imam. Left
free to carry out his ambitious aims. Sultan's next object was
♦
to secure the western fort. Taking with him a company of
the Al-Wahibah to Mdskat, he gave out that he was attacked
with small-pox. On hearing this rumour Muhammad-bin-
Khalfan, accompanied by his father and one of his brothers,
went to pay him a visit of condolence. When they rose to
depart Sultan ordered the former to be arrested, and did
not release him until he had surrendered the western fort
into his hands. Not satisfied with these successes he next
attacked el-Matrah, the appanage of his brother Kais, and
took the fort there also.
A coalition was then formed between Kais, his brother
the Imam, and Muhammad-bin-Khalfan to arrest Sultan's
further encroachments, and together they levied a force said
to have amounted to 60,000 men. Sultan, by lighting fires
on the hills, first deceived the enemy into believing that he
had an overpowering force with him, and then managed to
detach Kais from his allies by promising to give him the
forts of Badbad and Semiiil; but on Kais's arrival at the
former place the garrison, by Sultan's orders, opened fire
upon him. Thereupon Kais returned to Sohar and the
Imam Said to er-Rastak, leaving Sultan master of the situa
tion. The people of 'Oman, the esh-Sharkiyyah, and those
of Jaalan now recognized him as their ruler. He was not
formally elected, neither was he proclaimed Imam, for that
