in the Gulf addressed a stringent protest to the Amir, enjoined Sa'ad
to await his master's orders, and sent British war-vessels to cruise upon
the Batinah coast. These steps caused the Wahhabi to abate his
demands ; he agreed to accept, exclusive of an initial present of 1^,000
an annual tribute of $5,000 a year which Thuwaini under' his
father's instructions was willing to pay; and the Wahhabi expedition
was then broken up, and Majis restored to the ruler of 'Oman. The
prestige of the Wahhabis seems to have suffered by this settlement,
for we now find a number of local chiefs and tribes—particularly the Yal
Sa'ad arming against them j and their messengers in Batinah were
aftei this frequently detained and otherwise treated with contumely.
At the end of 1852 'Abdullah-bin-Faisal, the son of the Wahhabi
Amu, arrived at Baraimi with a commission to extend and enforce the
authority of his father's Government. Taking advantage of the recent
expulsion of Qais-bin- J Azzan from Sohar, he required the cession of that
district by Saiyid Sa'id, and demanded an increase of tribute so great as
to make it apparent that what he really wished was a pretext for declar
ing war. The British Resident in the Gulf, who had meanwhile reached
e coast of Irucial Oman upon a different errand, at once applied
himself to counteracting the influence and prestige of the Wahhabis, and
at the same time encouraged the regent Thuwaini to resistance by a
p mi ® e to assist him, if need be, in the defence of his capital : his attitude
emboldened Saiyid Thuwaini to proceed to Sohar, which he placed in a
