300 THE IMAMS OF 'OMAN.
from the Seyyid Said in order to effect a reconciliation be
tween the contending parties. Muhammad was unwilling
to act contrary to the Seyyid's wishes; so Matar went to the
Benu-Kuwahah and brought their chiefs to Muhammad-bin-
Nasir, and, peace having been made between them, all re
turned to their respective abodes.
Before the Seyyid Said embarked for Zanzibar a ship be
longing to the English Government came to Mdskat, he
having sent them full details of Hamud's proceedings.
Thereupon the commander went with his ship to Sohar and
brought Hamud to the Seyyid, and peace was concluded
between them, Hamiid giving a written promise that he
would not stir up strife against the Seyyid Said or his
children, and would cease from all hostilities against llilal-
bin-Muhammad-bin-el-Imam and his people. Ihis matter
being settled, the Seyyid embarked for Zanzibar with a
large force, under the command of Hamad-bin-Ahmed, Al-
Bft-Saidy, and 'Abdallah-bin-Salim. On reaching Mombasah
he dispatched those two commanders to attack Siwy, while
he proceeded to Zanzibar. The attack upon Siwy failed, for
the people engaged the assailants and drove them off, with
the loss of Hamad and 'Abdallah-bin-Salim, ezh-Zhahiry,
and a great many of their followers, who were killed on the
occasion. 1
Then Muhammad-bin-Nasir made preparations to attack
er-Rastak and to seize it on behalf of the Seyyid Said, in
consequence of Hamud-bin-'Azzan's intrigues. It appears
that the latter had recommenced writing to the Seyyid's
subjects, urging them to throw off his authority, and had
moreover attacked es-Suwaik and plundered the market
i This expedition took place in 18-14. " The Seyyid Sa'id's troops
were defeated with severe loss, and compelled to retire ; many of them
were slain, and among the number Ilumeed bin Ahmed, who went in
command of the expedition; also Nazzir bin Ali, late Knvoy to Eng
land." Bombay Government Selections, No. xxiv. pp. 215, 217.
