against Kais, and to request that on reaching Barkah he
would encamp with his army at Nuaman. (A large sum of
money was sent with this message to the sheikh Muhammad-
bin-Nasir and to the sheikh Hamid-bin-Nasir.) The sheikh
Muhammad succeeded in his mission^ for Hamid sent a
summons to the people of ezh-Zhahirah and el-Jau, both
Hadhr and Arabs^ and dispatched the Benu-Saadah and the
Benu-Yezid in advance to Nuaman. When they reached
Barkah^ Bedr-bin-Seif sent them on to Maskat^ and they
were quartered in the buildings opposite the Island, where
Sultan-bin-el-Imam used to promenade.
When the whole of these forces were mustered, Said-bin-

was held at that time by Suleiman-bin-Ahmed, el-Harasy,
the Sahib of Jamina, with a number of the Benu-'Ammah
and his slaves, on behalf of the Seyyids, the sons of Sultan.
On being apprised of the impending attack they ascended
the heights overlooking el-Makulla and hid there, and when
ever the assailants attempted to establish themselves in the
^Akabah, Suleiman's men dislodged them with their mus
ketry fire. Suleiman and his followers remained in the
'Akabah from daybreak and ascended the heights when
night approached. So Kais's party were thwarted in their
strategy.
About this time Said-bin-Sultan and his brothers were
joined by many of the Benu-Jabir from Tiwa and Halm,
