make war upon his father and drive him from er-Rastak;
whilst others again fancied that he was bent on a campaign
against Mombasah. On his way to join the army, and while
at Sih-el-Harmel, he was seized with fever, and being unable
to proceed returned to M^skat, where the fever developed
into small-pox, which covered his entire body. He accord-
ingly sent for his father, who joined him without delay, and
on the night of his father's arrival the ship er-Hahmdny was
burnt. When the flames broke out there was a great out
cry, and on being told the cause he remarked, " I do not
know who has burnt the ship, but if I recover from this
malady the guilty shall not go unpunished." He survived
three days, and died on Thursday, the 18th of Rajab,
a.h . 1206, [13th March, 1792], and was buried at dawn
on the slope of the central Wadi A seasonal or intermittent watercourse, or the valley in which it flows. , near Maskat, a little above
the graves of the two sheiks, Mas'ud-esh-Shukasy and es-
Sabhy.
The fifth day after the death of Hamed, the Imam Said
made a large funeral feast in the Eastern fort for the notables
and merchants of Maskat. He then appointed his son Ahmed-
bin-Said over Maskat in the room of Hamed, and over Barkah
he placed ^Aly-bin-Hilal-bin-el-Imam-Ahmed-bin-Said. He
himself returned to er-Rastak, but he entirely neglected
his subjects and the administration, and was wholly given
to indolence, which eventually led to the transfer of the
government to Sultan. Said lived to a great age and died
at er-Rastak during the rule of the exalted Seyyid Said-bin-
Sultan-bin-el-Imam [Ahmed].
