Shaikh Barkat was murdered in 178^ when he was succeeded by his
cousin Ghadhban-bin-Salman; and the latter was killed in 1792,
Mubarak-bin-Barkat taking his place. Mubarak was ousted by Faris-
bin-Dawud in 1794 ; and Paris, in his turn, made way for a stranger or
distant relation named ''Alwan in 1795.
Of Shushtar, " a city of considerable importance in regard to the
commercial intercourse which subsists between it and Basrah, and on
account of its manufacture of chintz/'' it was reported in 1790 that the
government is in the hands of a Khan who, secure in his situation, has
for some years past but slightly acknowledged the superiority of the
" Government at Sherauze, bufc his independence is restrained at home by
"the authority possessed by the elders of the city, who are always
"watchful to prevent his abuse of power.^
Shushtar in
1790.
External relations of 'Arabistan, 1779-95.
During the latter part of the eighteenth century, a political crisis at
Basrah was sure to attract the instant close attention of the Ka'ab
Shaikh; and the evacuation of the town by the Persians in the spring of
1779 formed no exception to the general rule. The irreproachable conduct
of the Ka^ab on this occasion, towards the temporary Arab government
of the town and towards the British
Residency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
, is described in another
place, in the history of Turkish 'Iraq. Sadiq Khan, the commander of
the retiring Persian garrison, passed through Doraq on his homeward
march.
The Tangistani Chief, Baqir Khan, in bis usurpation of the govern
ment of Bushehrin July 1779, a depended much upon succour from the
Chaub, whom he solicited as soon as he got possession of Bushire ; rV but,
as related in the history of the Persian Coast, the Ka^ab Shaikh, who
was then engaged in an unsuccessful war with some powerful neighbour,
failed to afford him any real assistance.
In July 1780 the Ka'ab tribe were at war with the 'Utub, both of
Zuharah in Qatar and of Kuwait; but the causes, character and results
of the conflict are all equally unascertainable.
With the Turks and Arabs of the Basrah neighbourhood, the relations
of the Ka'ab continued to be uncertain and fluctuating. Under their
Shaikh Barkat the Ka'ab, at some time prior to 1782, ^seized from the
Turkish proprietors the extensive and fertile district of Boojidee between
Tamar and Haffar, and bestowed it upon the Bawee Arabs, into which
tribe he had married/' Towards the end of 1784 there was war between
