Shah salutes you, and asks you to visit him to-morrow in
his fort, and he has given the warders directions to have
the way cleared for you/' As Salim was about to set out
with his suite Miisa said to him : " Go alone, and be not
disconcerted at the sight of the soldiers, or of the lions and
other wild beasts which are chained at the foot of the fort.
On entering, and when you meet the Shah, take an empty
chair with your own hands, and seat yourself nearer to him
than all his Wazirs, and when you address the Shah speak
boldly, without affecting any nicety of language, for the
Shah has only sent for you to find out whether you are
plain-spoken, of decided views, and of a dignified bearing."
Salim accordingly went unattended, and was not distracted
cither at the sight of the soldiers, or of the lions and other
wild beasts which were chained below the fort. On ap
proaching the gate he bade the warder to open it, saying
simply, " I am Salim-bin-Sultan-bin-el-Imam-Ahmed-bin-
Sjlid." So the gate was opened, and he ascended. On
seeing him approach, the Shah rose and seized his hand;
whereupon Salim took one of the Shah's chairs, which
greatly increased his dignity in the estimation of the Shah
and his Wazirs. The Shah treated him with great cour
tesy, and apologized for having so long delayed having an
interview with him, on the ground of press of business.
The Shah then asked what request he had to make, to which
Salim replied: " Some of our subjects in 'Oman have mis
behaved themselves towards us; they have rebelled and
seized some of our fortresses, and have renounced their
allegiance to us and contracted an alliance with the Wah-
habis, to whom they have committed their affairs, and to
whom they have become subject. Praise be to God! we are
not tired of fighting against them and the Wahhabis; but
inasmuch as in olden time, whenever the subjects of 'Oman
rebelled against their sovereign, he was always supported by
you,—for you are a great nation, and the keys of victory
