differs from yours; for there can be no doubt that 'Oman still
possesses men who are stronger than they are, more numerous,
and more indomitable in war. We are not dispirited on
account of the Wahhabis, or any other possible enemies, for
we have hearts in our breasts ready to encounter them, and
the swords are on our shoulders with which we are ready to
