to proceed with all his
galleys to Qubban, where he duly* arrived in safety^ accompanied by
the British Gallivat ' f Wolf;^ and so great was the moral effect
produced by his appearance there that not only did the Ka'ab garrison
evacuate the Qubban fort without resistance, but a whole tribe of
Shaikh Salman^s subjects, those who were accounted his best
musketeers, deserted him and came in, partly to the Kehiyah^s camp and
partly to the British ships, asking protection for themselves and their
families. The Ka^ab Shaikh was now supposed to be in great straits,
it was even reported that " his troops wou'd all desert him, but that he
keeps their chiefs continually within his sight and on the least
suspicion commits the most horrid barbarities/ 5 and a strong
impression prevailed that, if the Turks would only advance into the
heart of his country, he must yield; but the Turkish Commander had
now begun to discover pretexts for delay. Fresh overtures were made
by Shaikh Salman, at this time, to the British authorities; and
advantage was taken of them to stimulate the Kehiyah, who did not
desire a settlement at this stage, to more vigorous action. In the end
he was persuaded to advance against the Ka^ab, and promised to push
on until he should reach Khor Musa a-nd encamp beside the British fleet.
