the western grove, on the acclivity of the central Wadi, near
the town of Maskat; whereupon his brother Kais-bin-'Azzan
became possessed of all the forts which had been under his
charge.
Now Kais suspected Kahtan-bin-Seif-bin-'Aly of having
been one of the number of those who had instigated the
^ ^ huwainy to seize his brother Hamud, grounding his
suspicions on Ivahtan's frequent interviews with Thuwainy
previous to his brother's capture. Kais kept his suspicions
to himself; nevertheless, Kahtan was in great dread of him,
living secluded among his relatives of the Benu-Ris, at Fazah.
Jt was decreed, however, that he should go to Sohar, where
he was seized, imprisoned, and slaughtered like a lamb. 1
A\ hen the Seyyid Thuwainy heard of this outrage he was
greatly incensed against Kais, and collected a large force to
attack him. Kais did the same, and the two armies en
camped on the borders ofel-Khadhra,notfarfrom one another.
At this juncture some peacemakers intervened and suc
ceeded in persuading Kais to return to Sohar and Thuwainy
to Maskat; so there was no fighting between them.
J hen Kais-bin-'Azzan entered in a correspondence with
the terms of the treaty concluded between Syud Saeed and himself....
After receiving a visit from Syud Ilumood bin Azan, it was proposed
that they should proceed inland on a pleasure excursion....Then Soweynee
determined to make his guest a captive ; and at Shinas he caused him to
be seized, bound, and conveyed to the frigate in chains....On his return
to ?.Iuskat he threw his prisoner into a dungeon, and the treatment
which he received at his hands was of a very severe character. He was
loaded with chains, and confined in a place of heat unbearable; no
liberty, no comforts, no freedom from restraint was accorded him ;
health gave way, and nature quickly sank under such cruel usage.''

1 u hen the news of his brother's death reached Syud Ghes, his fiery
temper became inflamed with exceeding rage: he burned for revenge,
and eagerly sought for a victim whereon to vent his fury. He sought
not in vain : the brave and courageous Shaikh Kahtan bin Syf was
caught intriguing, cast into prison, and doomed to perish." Idem, p.
