to withdraw his troops. In 1847 Saiyid Sa'id received a second Persian W ^
princess in marriage, a grand-daughter of Fath J Ali Shah; but the match
had no political significance or value, and he continued to demand in
vam reparation for the indignities which he had suffered. British
intervention also failed for a time to procure redress; but in 1848, when
the British authorities were on the point of withdrawing their objection
to his employing naval force, the unfriendly sovereign of Persia died,
British influence at Tehran revived, and a settlement was reached. The
offender Fazal ■'Ali Khan was removed from his post.

had been partly due to his mismanagement. The Saiyid shortly after
despatched against Bandar 'Abbas a large expedition, composed chiefly of
Arabs from Shaiqiyah and Oman Proper, under the command of his
son Thuwaini, and the lost districts were temporarily recovered ; but they
could not be held against the ever-increasing numbers of the Persians,
and Saiyid Thuwaini was eventually driven to his ships, while many of
his force fell in the hands of the enemy and were carried as prisoners
to Shiraz. Ihe Bani las of Trucial 'Oman would apparently have
made common cause with the Saiyid on this occasion; but the British
authorities, fearing that this might bring the

The lease of Bandar 'Abbas to Sa'id was renewed * by a Persian
edict in 18oo, and by a formal treaty on the 17th November 1856. The
districts of Shamil, Minab and Biyaban, and the islands of Qishm and
Hormuz, were speciaed as included in the lease ; but the sovereign rights
of Persia over all these places were now clearly asserted and admitted, and
the annual rental—in 1821 only $4,000—was increased from $6,000 to
$14,000 Tumans, including an honorarium of 2,000 Tumans. The new
