The towns of Sliinas and Ghillal were restored to liis High
ness." 1 The same authority mentions another attack upon
Sohar by the Seyyid Said the year after, aided by the el-
Kawasimy chief, Sultan-bin-Sakar, and Rashid-bin-Hamud,
of ^Ajman, whom he subsidized on the occasion. He also
took steps " to conciliate the Wahabee chief by sending
him large presents, and in some measure acknowledging his
supremacy/' This second expedition signally failed, and the
loss on the side of the Seyyid was so great that he "judged it
advisable to drop all further proceedings, and having patched
up a peace, upon nearly the same terms as the former one,
he retired to Muskat with both his finances and reputation,
already severely shaken, reduced to a still lower ebb by the
last unfortunate attempt.
On leaving for Zanzibar the Seyyid appointed his second
son, Hilal, as Wali over Maskat, enjoining him to take no
important step without consulting his cousin, Muhammad-
bin-Salim. In like manner he placed Barkah in the hands
of his second cousin, Suud-bin-'Aly-bin-Seif, the great-
grandson of the Imam Ahmed. He had not been long
absent when Silud treacherously seized Hilal and Muham
mad, while on a visit to him at Barkah, proceeded next to
invest el-Masnaah, and finally made pi'eparations to attack
JMaskat, whereupon the Seyyidah again resorted to the aid
of Muhammad-bin-Nasir, and eventually obtained the
liberation of the Seyyids Hilal and Muhammad by the pay
ment of a large ransom.
According to the contemporary annals of the Bombay
Government the Seyyid Said^s authority in 'Oman at this
period was threatened with collapse. Sultan-bin-Sakar, the
chief of the el-Kawasim, taking advantage of the intestine
disorders in that country, seized Khor-Fakkan, Khallah, and
Daba, ports on the el-Batinah coast, and the Seyyids Hamud-
bin-'Azzan of Sohar and Hilal-bin-Muhammad of es-Suwaik
