placed them in the Western fort, with Khasif-bin-Matar as
their commandant. He also purchased a number of Zanj

leading to the Western fort, and were dislodged by the
watchman, who hurled a large stone at them, which induced
them to return to Barkah.Muhammad, however, would
not be advised, and on entering the Eastern fort the party
found Sultan quite well, standing in the court surrounded
by his Bedu and Hadhr, which caused Muhammad some
apprehension. On rising to leave. Sultan said : " As to
you, father Khalfan, you are free to depart, but your sous.
