turned towards him, but Muhammad-bin-Nasir stopped
them, saying, "Let the descendants of the Imam do what
they please to one another." On hearing these words Bedr
mounted his horse and set off at full gallop, but on reaching
the small cocoa-nut plantation of Nuaman the wound in his
arm overcame him, and he fell from his horse to the ground.
The Seyyid Said and his followers, who had gone in pursuit,
then hurled several lances at him, one of which striking
him in a vital part his spirit took flight.
Thereupon the Seyyid Said and his horsemen galloped on
until they reached the open space where the esh-Sharkiyyah
were encamped, and calling out to them he said: " Hasten
to join Bedr, for Muhammad-bin-Nasir and his men have
surrounded him." 'Aly-bin-Hilal and Hilal-bin-Hamed im
mediately rose up to go to Nuaman. Then when the Seyyid
Said's men had entered the fort they called out to the
Wahhabis : " Go and join Bedr, for Muhammad-bin-Nasir,
el-Jabry, and his men have surrounded him." The Wah
habis mounted their horses forthwith, and met the esh-
Sharkiyyah, and 'Aly-bin-Hilal, and Hilal-bin-Hamed near
the small plantation of cocoa-nuts, where they discovered
Bedr dead. At first they decided to attack Muhammad-bin-
Nasir, but learning from some peasants that Bedr had been
killed by the Seyyid Said and his horsemen they returned to
the open plain. On their way back, and as the W ahhabis
were passing close to the fort, the Seyyid Said's men, by his
order, pointed the muzzles of their guns at them, whereupon
they started at once for el-Bereimy.
On the Seyyid Said's return to the fort of Barkah he
placed some of his most devoted men in it, bidding them to
be on their guard, and ordering them to open fire upon any
one attempting to enter who did not belong either to him or to
his brother. Taking another escort with him he set out for
Maskat at noon, and reaching el-Matrah in the afternoon ho
sent a messenger to the cs-Saksaky, who held the fort there
