Island.
Some time after the conclusion of this treaty Ahmed-bin-
el-Imam-Said left the Eastern fort, and by the orders of
Said-bin-el-Imam placed it in the hands of Muhammad-bin-
'Abdallah, esh-Shakasy. 'Aly-bin-Hilal also quitted the
Western fort and consigned it in like manner to the care of
Muhammad-bin-Khalfan. Kais, too, left the fort of el-
