Rote on ISA BIN SALIH’S movements In
'V
DHAHIRAH
* #- ** هذه التواريخ تقريبية *# *
This morning in Majlis letter received from Khalifa
hin Hillal,Shaikh of Tnngul. Khalifa’s trihe is the Bani Ali
(Hinawiyah) which is found Both In Batinah and Dhahirah.
He is an Ex-VJali of Liwa and is still receiving pay from Sahar

Meanwhile Isa is sitting tight at Darin.
The letter states that

with concern as damaging to Muscat’s interests.
It gives Isa footing in the Dhahirah. Dhahirahs trade is with
Batinah and not Shargityah. While Dhahirah towns^tribes indepen
