AND ANALYSIS.
CXVll
over stealthily to Bunder-Fakkan, where he was met by a
deputation from the Benu-Naim, who for some time past had
been in arms against 'Azzan-bin-Kais. Marching inland, in
September, by el-Fujairah and the
Wadi

-Ham, he was rein
forced by the Benu-Kutb and several of the el-Yaarubah
tribes, and then joined the Benu-Naim at el-Bereimy, all the
forts of which, with the exception of the main one, were in
their hands.

thither on the 4th of October, but on the following day was
surrounded and completely routed by a force under the
Seyyid Turky. 'Azzan and his brother, Ibrahim, escaped to
Sohar, leaving from three to four hundred followers, including
several chiefs, either dead or wounded on the field, ihe en
