THE IMAMS OF 'OMAN.
—I accompanied him when the Julfar boats approached the
Eastern battery to plunder the Seyyid Said's subjects espe
cially, and the vessels of the people of India generally. At
that time the Amir of Julfar was one Hasan-bin-Rahmah,
el-Hawaly, a Wahhaby of the Wahhabis, the number of
whose forces afloat was said to amount to four thousand
five hundred, composed of men from Nejd and various other
parts. He had twenty-four vessels, one of which was a
large ship which he had plundered from a native of Yemen,
called Abu-'Abid. The Seyyid Said and his brother Salim,
and all the others of the Al-Bu-Said who resided at Maskat,
embarked on board one vessel, and when they met the
enemy there was a great fight between them. Then the
two Seyyids returned to Mdskat to prepare four additional
vessels, carrying twelve hundred men, for the contest. The
Seyyid Salim accompanied this second expedition on board
a
of his ship the Faidh- Alam, the Seyyid Said being on board
the el-Aul, Ahmed-bin-Seif-bin-Muhammad on board his
own vessel, while that belonging to Muhammad-bin-Ghalum
was manned by men from Persia. We had two encounters
with the enemy at sea, the second more severe than the first.
The fire from our ships and their boats was like the roar of
thunderand the flashing of lightning. I can even nowsee Salim
standing by the helm, smiling while all the rest were scowling.
During that sharp struggle, when the dagger seemed ready
to pierce all hearts, he exemplified by his composure the
saying of the poet Abu-et-Tdyyab: "0 God ! the fire of this
crisis has melted away all shams, leaving only men and
braves." We chased the retiring enemy as far as Salamah
and then returned to Maskat.
After the Julfar affair Salim took up his residence at el-
Masnaah, whither I and the two sheikhs, Hamid-bin-Muham-
mad-bin-Salim, el-
