INTRODUCTION
to dispatch towards Cutely Mekran, or Beloochistan, with
provisions, guides, and escorts ; in case of war, the land and
maritime forces of 'Oman were to defend the coast of Persia
from foreign invasion, and the new lease of the farm was
limited to twenty years, renewable or not after that term at
the pleasure of the Shah's Government.
With a deep sense of humiliation preying on his mind the
Seyyid S^id embarked once more for Zanzibar, ' f but the
decree of fate overtook him in the sea of Seychelles.^ He
died on board his frigate, the Victoria, on the 19th of Octo
ber, 1856, at the age of sixty-five, after a reign of fifty-two
years, seventeen conjointly with his elder bi'othcr Salim, and
the remainder alone. He left fifteen surviving sons:—
1. Thuwainy.
2. Muhammad.
3. Turky.
4. Majid.
5. Barghash.
6. 'Abd-el-Wahhab.
7. Ghalib.
8. 'Abd-el-'Aziz.
9. Khalifah.
10. Suwaid.
11. 'Abbas.
12. Menin.
13. Bedran.
14. Nasir.
15. 'Abd-el-Wahhab.
After the funeral obsequies at Zanzibar, whither the body
was conveyed for burial, our author informs us that the Sey
yid " Majid was promoted over his brothers who were on the
island,'' and that, " on assuming authority, he confirmed all
the officials in the rank which they had severally held during
his fathers lifetime; the people, moreover, recognized him,
and were satisfied with his arrangements." Majid's next step
was to dispatch a special messenger with letters for his
brothers, Thuwainy, Muhammad, and Turky, communicating
the intelligence of the Seyyid's death. These the bearer was
directed to deliver to the Sheikh at Ras-el-Hadd, to be for
warded to Maskat, and then to return forthwith. When tho
letters reached him, Thuwainy retained those addressed to
Muhammad and Turky, and also kept his father's death a
secret for some time, availing himself of the interval to send
particular instructions to the commandants of the different
forts throughout the province to be on their guard against
