At length, various internal troubles in India having been successfully '
surmounted between 1814 and 1817, it was resolved by the British
Government of that country to make an end of piracy in the Persian
Gulf.
In the spring of 1819 Captain Sadleir was sent in advance from Preparations
Bombay to arrange for the co-operation with the British against the petition*'
Qawatim of the Sultan of 'Oman, and, if possible, of the Egyptian forces 181 9-
then occupying Najd and Hasa, to whose commander he was authorised
to offer possession of Ras-al-Khaimah as an incentive to joint action.
A satisfactory understanding with Saiyid Sa'id was reached ; but from
the first there was no chance of an agreement with the Egyptians, who,
before the season fixed for British action arrived in the autumn of 1819,
had withdrawn entirely from their acquisitions in Hasa and partially
even from Najd. Dr. Jukes was sent on a special mission to the
Persian Governor of Ears to reassure him as to the objects of the British
expedition, and suitable explanations were also offered to the Shah of
Persia through the British Envoy at Tehran.
The British armament, which left India at the beginning of Novem- th^expedi- ^ 0r
ber 1819 and was under the command and political control of General tion, 1819-20.
Sir W. Grant Keir, consisted of three vessels of the Royal Navy, six of
the East India Company's marine, and a land force of over 3,000 men,
including a company of European artillery, the 47th and 65th Foot, and
a battalion and some details of native Indian infantry; and it was
joined before Eas-al-Khaimah by the Sultan of 'Oman with two ships
and 600 men. An 'Omani army also marched by land to the scene uf
