During the month of September 1765 the Ka^ab occupied themselves,
as explained in the history of Turkish ^Iraq, in stripping the date plan
tations in Turkish territory immediately below Basrah of their fruit ;
and their example was followed by the Muntafik tribe, who also moved
into the district on pretext of defending it against the Ka^ab.

. Captain Baillie, at starting,
received orders to establish a naval blockade of the Ka'ab on his way
to Basrah, by stationing some of his vessels at suitable points.
The instructions sent to the Agent and Council were that they should,
immediately on the blockade being formed, address a direct demand to
the Ka^ab for restitution of the British ships and their cargoes and for
compensation on account of their detention and of the expense incurred
by the East India Company in sending the expedition; and, should
these points be conceded, they were then, on condition of the Ka'ab
Shaikh undertaking never in future to molest the Company^s trade, to
engage that the Company on their part should not again interfere in
any dispute between him and his neighbours. If, however, the Shaikh
proved impracticable, the Agent and Council were to have recourse to
the Turks and propose joint action with them against the Ka^ab, upon
condition of: the Turkish forces being prepared to start immediately
and of the Turkish officials agreeing to make satisfactory arrangements
for the discharge of a large debt then due by one Haji Yusuf tothe
Company; but, if these requirements were not fulfilled, the British
force was to " proceed alone and pursue the most effectual measures
for re-taking our vessels and destroying those of the Chaub."
