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 A seasonal or intermittent watercourse, or the valley in which it flows. -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.
Both parties having called upon their respective confede
rates, the Sheikh of Abu-Zhaby came to the aid oPAzzan's
side, while the chiefs of Dabai, 'Ajman and Ras-el-Khaimah
cooperated with Turky. Several engagements followed be
tween the belligerents, but with no decisive result. Mean

reducing some of the inimical tribes of ezh-Zhahirah, and suc
ceeded in capturing the forts of "Abrein" 1 and el-'Ainein.
He also resumed the siege of el-Hazm, 2 and then proceeded
towards Dhank, 3 then held by the Benu-Naim and " Denah"
tribes. On reaching Yankal, his levies from esh-Sharkiyyah
and 'Oman proper demanded ol him the fulfilment of the
promises which had induced them to espouse his cause, and
on being told that he was unable to comply with their re
quest they left him in a body, thereby reducing his effective
strength to 2,000 men. Deeming that number sufficient,
with the aid of two field guns, to seize Dhank, he marched
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
gagement over, Turky moved towards the south-east, and

place in ezh-Zhahirah. Possibly " \abrin " is indicated.
2 Written " Azuin" in the official papers.
