Maskat—Sultan was at Semiiil with one hundred of the Al-
Wahibah at the time—they set scouts to watch his move
ments. These having returned and informed them that
Hamed would pass the night at RIvva, Sultan moved with
them from Semail. When Humed reached Eiwa he encamped

and said; " My son, I have only come to you for good; so
put aside all suspicion and think well of me. You should
not listen to evil whisperings about me,"even as I disregard
them about you. I look upon what you possess as if it were
