help and protection; Mr. Layard ; being specially invited to do so,
accompanied the Shaikh to Muhammareh ; which he found to bea settle
ment of mud-built huts, with a bazar for the sale of provisions and a few
European commodities.^ The Shaikh's object was to examine the
defences of the place, where some batteries and earthworks had been con
structed to command the entrance of the Karun and the approach to the
town on the landward side; for his real desire was to retain his semi-
independence, and with this purpose he was endeavouring to make
Muhammareh tenable against both Turks and Persians.
Shaikh Thamir did not forget to visit the Bawiyeh with his dis
pleasure on account of their having joined the Mohamad in his expedition
against Fallahiyeh. He expelled them from Isma-'ili on the Karun,
which they then occupied, driving them to Ahwaz and the lower part of
the plain of Ramuz.
In the autumn of the same year the Mo'tamad-ud-Dauleh, who had
not relinquished his determination to get the better of Shaikh Thamir,
descended the Karun river to Muhammareh, and in November 1841
occupied that place in force. His movements, before their scope was clear,
threw 7 even the Bani Lam into a panic of fear and led them to congregate
on the banks of the Tigris in Turkish territory, where they thought that
he would not venture to attack them.
Advised by the Wali of Hawizeh and the Bawiyeh tribe, the
Mo'tamad had planned to attack Fallahiyeh this time from the south
west ; but Shaikh Thamir, many of whose tribal allies and dependents he
had succeeded in detaching, did not wait for his coming. Considering
successful resistance to be impossible in the altered circumstances. Shaikh
Thamir hurriedly embarked his guns and all his property and removed
with his family to Kuwait. On his departure his nephew Faris-bin-
Ghaith succeeded him as Shaikh of the Ka'ab and was recognised as such
by the Persian authorities.
The Mo^tamad^s approach had been the signal for the flight also of
Haji Jabir, the Muhaisin Shaikh who actually held possession of
Muhammareh; but the Mo'tamad affected to consider his absence a
matter of no moment, and he made no objection, apparently, to the
management of local affairs being carried on by Haji Muhammad, a
nephew whom Haji Jabir had left in charge of the town. Before his
departure, however, the Mohamad appointed an officer to reside at
Muhammareh on the part of the Persian Government, as a mark of
sovereignty and as a check upon the intrigues of the local Shaikhs and of
the Turks.
