there. Muhammad, determined to arrest these proceedings,
summoned the principal Niz^riyyah, and wrote to those a" a
distance, fixing a time when they should join him against
Hamud and 'Isa-bin-Salih ; but he died at Azka before the
appointed time arrived.
Hamud, however, was fully bent on breaking the treaty
with the Seyyid Sdid: he even went Bombay to request
the English Government not to interfere in the dispute be
twixt him and the Seyyid.' The only reply he received was :
ring us a letter from the Seyyid stating that the treaty
betwixt you has been cancelled by him." Despairing of any
encouragement in that quarter, he returned to Sohar and
assumed a life of strict piety and asceticism, mating over the
fort to the learned sheikh Said -bin-Khalfiln-bin-Ahmed-bin-
Salih, el-Khalily, and the sheikh Hamed, the Amir of the
Al-Saad. Shortly after, however, he renounced these as
sumptions and removed the two sheikhs above-named from
the fort, appointing his son Seif-bin-Hamfld in their stead
and placing the sheikh Said-bin-Khalffin over the fort of er-
Rastak.
Thereupon this sheikh Said and the sheikh Hdmed, es-
baadj, together with the heads of the Al-Saad, proposed to
set up an Imam of their own, who was to be invested with
supreme authority. They offered the dignity to Hamud,
who at first agreed to accept it, but afterwards declined •
whereupon the Benu-Saad dispersed to their several homes,
Hamud going to Sohar, where he remained a short time!
On his return to er-Rastak he removed the sheikh Said-bin-
Khalfan from the fort, and placed it in the hands of the
Benu-Hinah. He then paid SoMr another visit, and from
thence went to el-Kusairah.
- If the foregoing narrative is consecutive, this visit of Hamud bin-
^ zzan to Bombay must have occurred subsequently to 1844: the Go
vernment Records, however, only mention his having visited Bombay in
