"On November 8, 1894, M. Ottavi, an Arabic-speaking diplomat with extensive experiences in Zanzibar and other Indian Ocean posts, arrived in Masqat to take up his duties as vice consul. Ottavi, like mnay of France's representatives in the Orient, was a Corsican, and proved to be an industrious, intelligent, and smooth-talking diplomat who was more than a match for the succession of uninspired agents who guided Britain's interests in Oman in the 1890's." (p.246)
