enterprising photographers than was

unrewarded. More than one distinct

At present the efforts of the British navy

Muscat was taken by the Portuguese in 1903
and remained In their hands until thea middle of
the seventeenth century, when the Arabs OF the
interior secured possession of it. The imams or
sultans OF Muscat afterwards made extensive con-

power and commercial prosperity in the first half
OF the nineteenth century, when the authority Of
the 1mams or sultans extended over the Persian
territories of Laristan and Mogstan the islands of
Bender Abbas part of the coast of Baluchistan and
the long strip of African coastland including Zan
