UTTOOBEES.
the delinquents stated that they had only taken such portion of the
cargo of the Lingah boat as had been regularly agreed upon as salvage,
it was arranged that the value of the property claimed should be lodged
in the hands of the British Agent, until the claim for salvage should be
substantiated by oath of Zun Tulaak, in the presence of the Native Agent Non-British agents affiliated with the British Government. ,
which having been done according to form before the Kazee, the money
was returned.
The authority of the old Shaikh being now openly defied by his sons,
who had each from one to three hundred followers, ready to commit
any act of violence or aggression at the bidding of their leaders, the
island became rapidly the scene of increased anarchy and confusion:
as a natural consequence, the trade had diminished to nearly one-half
within the last few years.
At this time (April 1842) Ameer Khalid came from Demaum to Khor
Hassan, to meet Shaikh Abdoolla, who treated
A ' D * 1812 " him with great respect, and led him to hope that
he would assist him in the recovery of Kateef to the utmost in his
power. After visiting Mahomed bin Khaleefa at Bahrein, the ex-
Wahabee ruler returned to Demaum.
The Bahrein Chief, however, if he ever entertained such an intention,
had already too much on his own hands to admit of his acting up to his
promise, for the serious dissensions in his own family, as about to
be detailed, had reached to such a pitch as to demand his utmost
attention.
The immediate and ostensible cause of the present open rupture
originated in the opposition offered to the marriage of Ahmed, the son
of Abdoolla bin Ahmed, with a young girl, the daughter of one Abdool
Rahman bin Rashid. The suitors respectively threatened to possess
her by force, # when her guardian, Moobaruk bin Khaleefa, appealing
to their mutual relation, Mahomed bin Khaleefa, against the injustice
and disgrace of permitting such a violation, he having already select
one from his own family to be her husband (Mahomed bin Moojarrm
bin Fail), angry discussions and threats were produced, and the etiorts
of the old chief, who came over from Khor Hassan for the purpose,
failing to effect an amicable arrangement, both parties began to collect
troops, calling in principally the ignorant but warlike Bedouins irora
the mainland, themselves in no way interested in the quarrel, and e
on solely by the prospect of emolument and plunder.
♦ The damsel on whose account so much disagreement had arisen resided at M " har ^'
and was on the commencement of hostilities at the mercy of her would he suitor, w '
moreover consenting, might without immediate opposition ha\e possessec unse
person; but as the real ground of the dispute had no reference whatever to her, so t le
did not cease with her possession.
