724 Kelly, Britain, p. 77, sheds some light on the career of Muhammad ‘Aqil in stating that he was
“a notorious pirate who operated from Salalah in Dhufar,..... and had been active during 1806 in
provisioning French privateers visiting the Red Sea. Hunted by the British, Muhammad fled and
took refuge at Masqat. He later returned to Salalah.”
725 Between 1832 and 1837, Sa'Id had spent as much time at Zanzibar as at Masqat, and in 1840
he practically transferred his court to Zanzibar. For the history of the ‘UmanI dependencies in East
Africa, see Coupland, East Africa, pp. 217-222 and Said Reute, Said bin Sultan, pp. 45-70.

727 Lorimer, Gazetteer, vol. 1, p. 466, in discussing British assistance and cooperation with
Sa'Id’s interests says, “after the difficulties with the Banu Bu ‘Ali, encountered together in
1820-21, the British authorities in India never failed to show their solicitude for the interests of
Sa’id, at times restraining him from imprudent enterprises in Bahrain, Persia, ‘Iraq, and at others
directly supporting his authority against rebels, or enabling him to obtain a reduction of Wahhabi
demands.
