THE IMAMS OF 'OMAN.
anchoring with those before the fort at Sohar, he sent an
order for Ahraed-bin-Said to visit him. When his mes
senger had delivered the letter, Ahmed-bin-Said embarked
in a small boat to obey the summons. Meanwhile, the
Imam had posted his slaves on the sides of the vessel
in which he himself was. When Ahmed^s boat approached
the ship, some of the slaves beckoned to him to return,
which he did, and made for the land ; whereupon the slaves
cried out to the Imam : " Ahmed has gone back to the
shore!" "Keep your places," rejoined the Imam; "he
has probably forgotten something and has returned to fetch
it." They accordingly retained their posts the whole of that
day, from sunrise to sunset, but no Ahmed appeared. The
Imam waited there several days writing letters to him, to
none of which did Ahmed deign to reply.
When the el-Jibur chiefs of el-Harady, el-IIufry and
Hai-'Asim—districts of Barkah—heard that the Imam was
still with his ships before Sohar, they embarked in boats
and went to see him. On meeting him they said : " 0 Imam,
what do you want of your Wali, Ahmed-bin-Said ?" He
replied: "Merely that he should come to me." They rejoined:
" How can you expect that of him when you have frightened
him with your letters and ships ? Such a course is not
seemly, for he is your Wali and one of your advisers. Had
no one intimidated him he would not have come back to
Sohar in consternation the day he went to see you at Mas-
kat. And had he not been loyal and true he would not have
come off to you in his boat, on which occasion being scared
away by some of your attendants he returned to the shore.
Crod be praised ! you are of a gentle disposition and know
full well that ' the soul shrinks from destruction.' Our sug
gestion is that we call upon him, tell him about you, and
hear what he has to say in reply. Should we learn that he
is alarmed at your having come to him, we trust to return
with assurances such as will set your mind at rest respecting
