Ililal-bin-Hdmed, of the Al-Bu-Said, went to the Seyyids
Said and Salim and prevailed upon them not to go with
him. When he reached el-Khaburah he was joined by a
great many of the Arabs of the coast, and encamped with
them above the fort. Malik-bin-Seif he posted near his
own camp, and the sheikh 'Isa-bin-Salih, with his men of
the el-Harth, westward of the fort. Then came the sheikh
Hamid-bin-Zhalam, el-Wahiby, with many of the Al-Wahi-
bah, who were posted next to the encampment of the sheikh
'Isa-bin-Salih. Bedr now awaited the arrival of the sheikh
Hamid-bin-Nasir, and in the mean time he was joined by the
Benu-Kelban, who encamped with the multitude. On the

accompanied him with some of his men, the rest remaining
behind with the Benu-Kelban. The Benu-Haras, the people
ol Jamma, joined the latter, as did also the el-Masakarah,
and they encamped close to the encampmentof Ibn-Muaaikal,
the Wahhaby. Subsequently, the sheikh-Said-bin-Majid,
el-Barwany, with a detachment of his men, joined Malik-
bin-Seif's party, both following the leading of Hamid-bin-
Nasir.
llamid met Kais at Sdham, and addressed him in these
terms: "1 have not come to you on a hostile errand, there-
