WAHABEES.
39. Remonstrances having been made to the Chiefs of the Wahabees
and of Ras-ool-Khy ma for some captures made by the Joasmees, Hussein
bin Mahomed bin Gaith arrived at Bushire, as the Agent of the
Joasmee Chief, Hussein bin Rahmah, and with letters from the Waha-
bee Shaikh, disapproving of the conduct of the former, and of his tribe"
and binding himself to compel Hussein bin Rahmah to deliver up such
propeity as we could prove they had captured.
40. Ibrahim Pacha, prosecuting the advantages'he had obtained
a. d . 1818. OVer the Wahabees, again defeated them at
Manwiah, seven stages from the capital of
Denah. Abdoolla bin Saood retreated to Bundah, in the district of
Kassime, four stages from Deriah. Following up this success, Ibrahim
Pacha invested and reduced the Wahabee capital on the 10th of Sep
tember, destroyed the fortifications, towers, and plantations of date
trees, and removed the inhabitants to Lahsa, which he intended to
establish as the seat of government.
41. Abdoolla bin Saood was made a prisoner on this occasion, and
sent off, with live others, under an escort, to be delivered over to the
"viceroy, Mahomed Ali Pacha. The Wahabee Shaikh's family were to
be sent to Medina, until the orders of the Porte should be received.
Kateef, the principal seaport belonging to the Wahabees, next surren
dered to the Turkish troops, and Ibrahim Pacha's army having been
recruited by considerable reinforcements from Egypt, he detached a
foice against Beriami, bordering on the province of Oman, which was
foimerly subject to the Turkish Government; and was preparing to
attack Ras-ooi-Khyma and the pirate ports, Abdoolla bin Ahmed, the
Shaikh of Bahrein, offering whatever vessels might be requisite for
the transport of troops against those places.
42. Thus rose and fell—it is to be hoped never to rise again—the
extraordinary sect of the Wahabees, under whose protection and en
couragement maritime depredations were carried on in the Gulf, and
in the Indian seas, with a degree of success, audacity, and barbarity,
which has been surpassed only by the atrocities of the Algerines in
Europe.
