bin-Sultan, should be sent to them. On his arrival they
directed him to proceed to Shiraz with a letter to the Shah,
and to return with an answer authorising them to deliver
over all the posts which they held to him, promising at the
same time that they would bring his services to the favour
able notice of his Persian majesty. He accordingly em
barked at M£skat for Bunder-el-^Abbas, and went on from
thence to Shiraz. On being presented to the Shah he deli
vered the letter with which he was entrusted, and after being
hospitably entertained there for thirty days the Shah gave
him a letter authorizing his people to surrender all the forts
and other defences to him. On his way back he landed at
Sohar, and informed Ahmed-bin-Said of the whole trans
action.
According to another account, when Majid-bin-Sultan left
Bunder-el-'Abbas it was his intention to go direct to Mas-
kat, but his ship having been overtaken by a storm he was
obliged to land at Sohar, where, some of Ahmed-bin-Said's
adherents recognizing him, they took him into the presence
of their master. Thereupon Ahmed began to question him
as to the nature of his message from the Persian Shah, and
he eventually succeeded in learning all that had taken place,
and obtained possession of the Shah's letter ordering his
people to surrender the forts which they held to Majid-bin-
Sultan. (This I consider to be the more correct version of
the transaction.) He then dispatched Khamis-bin-Salim,
el-Al-Bu-Saidy, with the letter and four hundred men to
Maskat, and directed him to take over the defences of that
town, and also of el-Matrah, from the Persians. The latter,
thinking that he was acting for Majid-bin-Sultan, delivered
up all the posts into his hands, and he garrisoned them with
the men he had brought from Sohar.
The transfer of the government of the el-Yaarubah to
Ahmed-bin-Said took place a.h . 1154 [ a.d . 1741].
When Ahmed-bin-Said read Khamis-bin-Salim/s letter.
