Mutlaq, was allowed by Shaikh Sultan-bin-Saqar to remain at Sharjah,
where, on his arrival in March 1839, a fortified house and tower had
been placed at his disposal by the Shaikh ; and from this point of
vantage Sa'ad at once began to intrigue, calling on the Na'im tribe
through Shaikh Sultau-bin-Saqar to surrender Baraimi for occupa
tion by a gairison of Wahhabis, whom he had brought with him, and
opening a direct correspondence with the Shaikh of Abu Dhabi, whose
co-'Operation with themselves, in view of his previous steady opposition to
Central Arabian influences, had been confidently anticipated by the
British authorities. On the Na'im, who had but recently obtained or
recovered possession of Baraimi, the threats of the Egyptian agent
produced no effect, and the NVirn were encouraged in their defiant attitude
by Saiyid Hamud-bin-'Azzan of Sohar, who immediately sent his own
brother Qais with 200 men to their assistance; but by Shaikh Khalifah-

the Shaikh of Abu Dhabi was using every endeavour to supplant the
Shaikh of Sharjah in Sa'ad-bin-Mutlaq's favour, which Sultan-bin-
Saqar on his part was doing his utmost to retain. From each of these

Egyptians • and in the case of Sultan-bin-Saqar a further clause was
added, by which the Shaikh bound himself not to enter into any corre

any other foreign power without the consent of the British Government,
and to regard the friends and enemies of the British as his own. The
