This intrigue was quickly followed by another
In the month of March 1851 arrived at Debaye, on his wav to
Aboothabee, one Moobaruk bin Suroor, the Chief of the Monasir with
^etters from Shaikh Sultan bin Suggur to Shaikh Syud bin Tahnoon
Negotiatmns it would seem, had for some time past been carried on by
the chiefs above mentioned, and the letters now in the possession of
Moobaruk were nothing more or less than the acceptance of offers that
had been made to the Joasmees by the Beniyas Chief.
The envoy had scarcely placed foot on the soil of Debaye ere Shaikh
Muktoom became aware of the important documents he held in his
ands. Moobaruk was seized, and thrown into confinement; a plain
and distinct intimation was sent to Shaikh Sultan, that if he Wished to
keep on good terms with the Debaye Chief, then mn S t he neither per
mit the letters nor the envoy to go to Aboothabee.
Shaikh Sultan, unwilling to break with Shaikh Muktoom, but more
unwilling to remain at feud with Shaikh Syud, did not boldly and

Heyle straight to Shaikh Syud at Aboothabee.

Joasmee and Beniyas Chiefs, and Shaikh Mnktoom, fearful for him Jf

The time was now at hand for the arrival of His Highness the
maum from his possessions at Zanzibar, on the African Coast. He
had long talked of repairing to Muskat, for the purpose of adjusting
and arranging the quarrel that had been so unhappily raging betweef
his son and the Sohar Chief. etween
