SA^ID-BIN-A TIMED.

being there. While they were debating this point, an old
woman named 'Omariyyah, of the Benu-'Obaidan, went to the
sheikh Ja'id-bin-Khamis and apprised him of the resolution
which the people of Nezwa had formed, and suggested that
he should quit the Hujrah before the Imam became aware of
his presence. She said to him : "1 am apprehensive on your
account, for you have only a few men with you; you are
virtually a prisoner in the Hujrah, and the people of Nezwa
who were on your side are now turned against you." Even
before this warning, however, the suspicions of the sheikh
Ja'id had been aroused by the discussions which he over
heard among the garrison of the Hujrah, one of whom went
and informed the Imam that same night—he was then in the
fort—that sheikh Ja'id had entered the Hujrah, and that the
people of Nezwa seemed disposed to swerve from their alle

Imam descended from the fort by a rope, unknown to any
one, and mounting his camel set out for esh-Sharkiyyah,
where he levied a large force of Arabs and Hadhr. In the
mean time sheikh Ja'id, suspecting the fidelity of the garrison,

el-'Alya. When the Imam Said came with his army from
esh-Sharkiyyah to Nezwa, the people attempted to excuse
themselves by saying that the sheikh had entered the Ilujrah
without their permission; but the Imam would not be ap
peased, and marched to Semed-el-Kindy, drove out its
garrison, his soldiers seizing from the Hujrah at that place
whatever they could lay hands on, leaving neither utensils,
nor arms, nor dates, nor any thing else which they could
carry off, the fugitives taking refuge in the Jebel-el-
Akhdar. Some time after, the inhabitants of S^med-el-
Kindy went to the Imam and assured him that they were not
aware of the entrance of sheikh Ja'id into the Hujrah of el-
'Akr until after its garrison had driven him out. On receiving
a renewal of their vows of obedience and loyalty the Imam
