predatory aggressions on the former by the followers of the
seceder Sooedan bin Zaal, who had taken asylum with the
Uttoobees, is with difficulty averted, through the influence
of the British authority.
The Imaum visits the coast With two vessels, and in support
of one of the conditions of the Treaty which his protege,
Tahnoon, had failed to fulfil, destroys Derah. The Imaum
supplies the Beniyas Chief with guns and ammunition.
Shaikh Tahnoon, availing himself of the support thus
afforded, makes a sudden and vigorous attack upon Debaye,
which is successful. The Joasmee Chief declares war, but
does not commence hostile operations.
The Debaye Governor, Khaleefa bin Dumeeta, seizes several
Shargah boats, and their cargoes, but is compelled by the
British authorities to make restoration.
Shaikh Tahnoon joins the Imaum's expedition against
Bahrein, but acts with great imprudence, if not treachery,
and a signal failure is the result.
The seceder, Sooedan bin Zaal, and his followers, effect a re
conciliation with Shaikh Tahnoon, and return to Abootha-
bee. Two Bahrein Buggarahs and a Koweit Buteel are
seized by the Beniyas ; the boats and property are recovered
and restored, but the pirates escape.
Hostilities again break out between the Joasmees and Beni
yas. Shaikh Sultan blockades Aboothabee, and reduces
it to great distress. Both parties, anticipating the loss of
the advantages to be obtained from the prosecution of the
pearl fishery, accept the mediation of Shaikh Mahomed
bin Guzeeb, Governor of Lingah, and a peace is concluded.
Shaikh Tahnoon becomes a member of the Treaty of Peace
concluded between the Imaum and the Uttoobees.
The Beniyas Chief volunteers his aid to the Imaum on the
occasion of his declaring war a second time against his
relation Humood bin Azan, of Sohar, but his fidelity being
suspected, it is declined, while that of the Joasmee Chief
and the Shaikh of Ejman is accepted.
Irritated at this rejection, and dreading any alliance between
the Imaum and his rivals the Joasmees, Tahnoon throws
himself into the opposite scale, and commences aggres
sions upon the territories of the latter, the accepted allies.
