, disgusted by the non-arrival of his allies, abandoned the campaign
just at the moment when the Turks had completed their preparations
and were on the point of starting from Basrah ; and about the middle
of May he apparently broke up his force, sending a part of it to join in
the operations which were then being commenced by his general Amir
Kuhneh Khan against Mir Mahanna, the piratical chief of Rig.

the Ka'ab in ' Arabistan, seem from a recent examination of the ground
to have been watered by two canals or streams from the Karun, of
which one left the river by the Marid creek and fell into Khor Qanaqeh
near Qubban, while the other, known as the Salmaneh or Salmaniyeh
possibly from the name of Shaikh Salman himself, had its head near an
island similarly named. The supply of water in the former was de
pendent on a masonry dam, of which the remains are still visible close to
the entrance of the Marid creek. Opposite to Marid, on the right bank
of the Karun, was another Ka'ab settlement, Sableh or Sableh, by which
name the dam was commonly called. Karim Khan, in the course of
his operations, demolished the Sableh dam, thereby greatly impairing the
prosperity of Qubban ; and it seems probable that the Sableh settlement
also, of which nothing is heard in the later history of the Ka'ab tribe,
was annihilated on the same occasion. It is probable that the transfer
of the Ka^ab capital from Qubban to Fallahiyeh took place at this time.
