V
BENIYAS. 161
Date.
Occurrences.
Sultan bin Suggur declares war, and prepares to blockade
Aboothabee, but hostilities during the pearl fishery at last
creating great discontent in the minds of both Joasmee and
Beniyas subjects, a peace is concluded, after a short nego
tiation, through the mediation of Syed bin Guzeeb of
Lingah.
Shaikh Tahnoon gives refuge to three Joasmee pirates, inha
bitants of Khan, and draws upon himself the responsibility
of their acts, and the consequent obligation to afford
redress, which he does by paying the sum of 1,500 German
crowns. The Joasmee Chief is compelled to pay 2,000
German crowns for the part taken by the accomplices of
the above.
Shaikh Tahnoon bin Shakboot is murdered by the hands
of his brothers Khaleefa and Sultan. The former of the
two succeeds him in authority.
Shaikh Khaleefa tenders allegiance and the annual payment
of tribute to the Wahabee ruler, Toorkey bin Saood, who
in return informs the Joasmee Chief that-the Beniyas are
under his protection, and that he will permit of no aggres
sions upon them.
In consequence of the oppressive and arbitrary conduct of
the usurper, a conspiracy is formed to put him to death.
The plot is betrayed to Shaikh Khaleefa, who puts three
of the conspirators to death, and severely punishes the
others. The Boo Felasa and Rumshah tribes, to the num
ber of about 800 persons, secede from the main Beniyas
Tribe, and establish themselves at Debaye, a depend
ency of Aboothabee. The Joasmee Chief takes advantage
of the division in the Beniyas Tribe, espouses the quarrel
of the Boo Felasa, and proceeds with the whole of his dis
posable forces, increased by boats and men from Lingah,
to the attack of Aboothabee, which he expects to find an
easy conquest.
The combined troops land at Khore Suffan ; are unexpected
ly surrounded by a superior force, supported by horse and
camel men, and completely defeated, and driven to their
boats. Shaikh Sultan bin Suggur narrowly escapes drown
ing. Shaikh Sultan bin Suggur returns with a large fleet,
and blockades Aboothabee.
