He had been a slave but his master had recently died
and he was now on his own. The Medical Officer
confirmed the fact that he was medically unfit for
diving. He was eventually handed over to Shaikh Juma t
who said he would be responsible for him and he agreed
that he was not in a fit state to dive. Shaikh Said
bin Maktum accompanied by Shaikh Juma called at 1700;
they were accorded salutes of 5 guns and 1 gun
respectively on leaving. I returned the call shortly
afterwards.

10. F0W3Y left Khor Kuwai at 1000 on Friday, 10th
September, and arrived Muscat at 0700 the following day.
It had previously been arranged that I should pay a formal
call on His Highness the Sultan at 1015 but I received a
signal on passage to Muscat asking that the call should be
an informal one. I subsequently learnt that this was on
account of the unexpected arrival in Muscat of the heads
of some tribes from the interior, with whom the Sultan
wished to discuss, before leaving for Sur the following
day. In consequence of this, no return call was made by
His Highness and the times of arrival and departure on
Sunday were merely settled. On enquiring how many would
be accompanying His Highness to bur, he informed me
that the party would consist of 40, including Captain
Byard and 14 Muscat Levies.
11. Hie Highness and Captain Byard embarked in FOWEY’s
motor boat at 0815 on Sunday, 12th September, the
remainder having embarked just earlier in local boats.
His Highness was received with a Subaltern's Ouard and
his standard was broken on his arrival on board. The ship
sailed at 0900 and anchored off Sur at 1640 the same day
dressing ship overall on anchoring. The Wali of Sur came
onboard to call on the Sultan; the troops and others were
disembarked in local dhows and His Highness, Captain Byard.
and the wali disembarked in FOWSY’s motor boat at 1750.
A Subaltern’s guard was paraded on the departure of His
Highness and a salute of 21 guns fired on his leaving the
ship, the ship being undressed at sunset, about 20 minutes
later.
