boats. Several of the principal men are killed. A Koweit
fleet arrives the same day at Bahrein, sets fire to, and plun
ders the town.
The Zobara Arabs, assisted by their kinsmen from Koweit,
capture Bahrein from the Persians on 28th July. ^ The four
sons of Jaubir bin Uttoobee, dissatisfied on this occasion

in disgust; and, after wandering for a few years, establish
themselves at Khor Hassan, and commence a system of
piracy.
The Imaum of Muskat reduces the island of Bahrein, and
sends all the head men, consisting of twenty-five families,
to Muskat. The Uttoobees return to Zobara, and solicit
the protection of the Wahabees, which is readily extended.
Early this year the Uttoobees, with the assistance of the
Wahabees, retake Bahrein.
The Uttoobees deprecate the wrath of the British Government,
urge exemption from the general chastisement of the pirates
by the British forces, and solicit the countenance of the
British Government in throwing off the Wahabee yoke, and

Zobara, and appoints Abdoolla bin Oofcysan Vukeel over
those places, and the Kateef and Guttur districts, to convert
the Uttoobees to the Wahabee faith. The Uttoobees con-
