Ma’awal. This Abdur Rahman is a notorious partisan
of the rebels and is said to have persuaded Abdul Aziz to lend the Imam a sum of
four thousand dollars. The object of Muhammad bin Salim’s visit to Maskat
was to get into communication with Abdur Rahman, who was returning to Zanzibar,
and to arrange for their joint departure for Africa.
1102. Muhammad bin Salim was inquisitive, asked what was the British
attitude towards the Maskat State and whether His Highness the Sultan, in his
relations with the British Government, occupies the same position as the Rao of
Cutch or enjoys greater freedom. He also wanted to know whether the British
Government would take action against the rebels or leave matters as they are at
present. The Acting Head Clerk replied that clerks knew nothing of these matters..
Muhammad bin Salim had intended to travel in India, but on account of ill health
decided to return to Africa.
