News of this disaster having reached Sultan he was
greatly oppressed with sorrow and anger, and set out from
Barkah to el-Fulaij, where he ordered Muhenna-bin-Sulei-

Sohar, as to the best course to be pursued. Muhenna then
returned to Nakhl, and Sultan summoned all the heads of
'Oman, especially the Benu-Said. Those who answered the

Ahmed-bin-el-Imam-Said, and 'Azzan-bin-Kais-bin-el-
