him to hope for the sanction of the Porte to his nomination as Kaim Mukam
of Nejd, but stating that the Turkish troops would not be withdrawn from
Hasa. He thought that if the Porte were to recognize Saud on his under
taking to pay a reasonable revenue, withdraw its troops from Hasa, and
leave him to establish his own power, Abdullah would soon disappear from the
field, tranquility would be restored to the country, at any rate for a time, while
the supremacy of the Ottoman Government would be recognized. Saud's
prospects had now much improved. The capture of the Ejman Chief by the
Turks had been the means of procuring him many adherents, while Abdullah's
treacherous breaches of faith, notably in his attacks on the Shammar and Ejmau
tribes, had alienated from him most of his former friends. Saud, who was
now at the head of a large force, was said to have worsted hia brother in

distress was increased by the non-payment of the small subsistance allowance
which had been at one time made to him by the Local Government. In
Eebruary 1873, a few months after Abdul Rahman's arrival at Baghdad, Eahad
bin Sintian, Saud's Agent at Hasa was arrested by the Turks and deported to
Baghdad, probably in consequence of Saud's successes in Nejd, which was now
