the bultan of Muscat and uinan* t<ecd.lO-ll-2S. •
A.C.
I beg to state tnat 3 days ago Amir All bin Abdullah left
by the boat of iouhaiLmad bin rJaatir al Alawi with the intention
of going to Jeddah and God knows about his real object. Today
the rahariq (Beni ahafir living at Adam) and Ali bin Salih
bin Yasir al Rasbi (Beni chafir of ja’alan) with 25 horse and
camel-men arrived at this place stating that they have come
in order to effect a reconciliation between seni uu Ali and the
Arama. '.ve told them that none of the Amirs were present at the
town and on their arrival nothing will happen but good; but if
they intended to effect a settlement betv/een the Arama and the
nflaJchana who are present in. the town they could do so. Up to
now nothing further has happened so that i may inform you.
These affairs are all due to the instigations of the Amirs. They
(Mahariq and Ali bin Salih al Kasbi) have put up with Sayid
chahab who has showed kindness to them and i shall inform you
of further development, please send me the necessary
instructiobs.
As regards the Puwaris (the rebels) they are still dis
obedient as was reported by Sayid Shahab. The fcakhana and
Ghialin are cheating them by telling them that the Government
would not do anything to them,
kuhammad bin Rashid (Chief of kuwaris), his cousins and his
followers came to us and united with us and expressed that tliey
would not take any step without our agreement and that they
would be obedient to the (muscat) Government, i took them to
bayid bhahab and inform^him of their obedience.
