AND ANALYSIS.

'Oman and its dependencies. As regards the latter, the
Seyyid Nasir, younger brother to the Seyyid Salim, had
already made himself master of Guadel and Shahbar on the
coast of Mekran.
The death of the Wahhaby lieutenant of el-Bereimy, to
gether with many of his followers, in an engagement with
the el-Kawasim of Sharjah, frustrated Salim's hope of any
assistance from that quarter. Resolving, however, to make
one desperate attempt to regain his lost position, he marched
inland during the month of May, and on the 14th of August
reached Birkat-el-Mauz, (see map). But, wherever he went,
disaster followed him : personally wanting in courage, and
destitute of any qualities calculated to raise the enthusiasm
of the tribes, he met with a sorry reception, and being in
constant danger of seizure by 'Azzan's party he returned to
el-Kishm in September, without the least chance in prospect
of recovering the sovereignty.
Fortune, on the other hand, favoured ^Azzan-bin-Kais. In
July he captured the fortress of el-Bereimy,—long the fron
tier stronghold of the Wahhabis and the base of their opera
tions against the tribes on the northern coast and the Mds-
kat territory,—and established friendly relations with the
Benu-Yas and the el-Kawasim. In September he was again
in the field, and before the end of the year he not only cap
tured the towns and fortresses of Behla, Azka, Adam, and
Nezwa in 'Oman proper, but marching into Jaalan with a
considerable force so overawed the tribes of that district that
they tamely submitted to him.
In January, 1870, the Wahhaby Amir, 'Abdallah-bin-
Faisal made preparations to recapture el-Bereimy, whereupon
'Azzan, accompanied by his brother, Ibrahim, started for
Barkah, where they were joined by Suud, brother to the Wah
haby Amir, with whom Suud was at variance. 1 Summoning
1 Mr. Pal grave, writing six years ago, thus alludes to a general im
pression among the Wahh&bis that an open rupture would take place
