, his conduct was
scrupulously correct. On one occasion he was stated to have shown
" remarkable . . . forbearance towards the Augusta Cruizer, when
in the power of his fleet."
By 1809 Rahmah had entered into close relations with the Wahhabi
power and controlled^ in conjunction with their emissaries, even the town
of
Zubarah
18th-century town located 105 km from Doha.
j the latter circumstance would seem to mark a recent growth
of his power, for in 1800-U51 some of the 'Atbi chiefs expelled from
Bahrain by Saiyid Sultan of Masqat had been able, in spite of
their enmity with Rahmah, to take refuge at
Zubarah

and engage
there in negotiations for assistance bv the Wahhabis in recoverincr
Bahrain. In consequence jmrtly of the intimacy of Rahmah with the
Wahhabis, a collision with whom the British Government were anxious to
a\ oid, and partly of his irreproachable attitude towards British interests,
it ■was decided, in connection with tli,e Ras-al-Khaimah expedition of
18OJ, to abstain il possible from direct action against him. At
one ame indeed it was intended to require, from whichever of
the two Jalahimah brothers might be found in possession of Khoi'
Hassan, a written undertaking to desist at least from giving " employ

at Bushehr, who had not perhaps been
informed of the decision, would have sent a force to Khor Hassan for
the purpose of destroying Rahmah's vessels; but the movement was
