Jiarkah was made over to the Seyyid through Muhammad-
bin-Nasir, and that at er-Rastak was given to Suud. On
this occasion the Seyjid gave the fort of Bddbad to Mu-
hainraad-bin-Nasir.
Before returning to Zanzibar the Seyyid appointed his
son J huwamy-bin-Said 1 Wali over Maskat,and made Haraad-
bm-Ahmed Wali over Nakhl; but, in the mean time, Ha
mad accompanied him on his voyage, and he sent him to
attack Siwy/ while he himself went on to Zanzibar. Hamad
was successful at Siwy, the people there agreeing to all
the Seyyid's demands; so, leaving some of his men in the
place, he went to Zanzibar, from whence, by the Seyyid's
orders, he returned to 'Oman. From Maskat he went to
take up his appointment at Nakhl, and administered its
affairs so well that he gained the praise and goodwill of the
inhabitants.

purpose. Hamad was unsuccessful on this occasion, for the
people resisted him and he was obliged to flee to Zanzibar,
after losing many of his followers.

tuk, in order to take a nap, when Sultan-bin-el-Imam-Ah-
