Bahrain, he persuaded the Shaikh to execute an agreement for preventing
the sale of captured British property in his dominions,—an agreement
which, unfortunately, the Shaikh afterwards treated as if it did not exist.

boat expedition under cover of the " Antelope " to take possession. The
vessels, which were boarded and captured after a stout resistance, were
wrecked in being brought out of the anchorage ; the Shaikh of Bahrain
professed great indignation at violation of the neutrality of his port; and
the Shaikh of Abu Dhabi, to whom or to whose subjects the vessels were
afterwards proved to belong, made a claim for reparation on the Bombay
Government which, it is believed, was admitted and satisfied in respect

policy of

When in 1819 an expedition was despatched from Bombay against
the piratical stronghold of Ras-al-Khaimah^ the policy of the British Gov
ernment in regard to Bahrain was defined as one of complete abstention
from interference between rival claimants to possession; and it was
resolved to inform the 'Atbi Shaikh that, so long as he restrained his
subjects from piracy, he would reap the advantages of a friendly neutrality
on the part of Britain, whereas, should a piratical spirit manifest itself in
Bahrain, the same measures of coercion would be applied to the 'Utub
as to tht Qa\\ asim. The conclusion with the Shaikh of (e an engagement
similar to that negotiated by Mr. Bruce in the year 1816," which
would . issuk the Utub of the benevolence of British intentions, was also
contemplated by Government. From the general line of action thus
marked out there seems to have been no deviation.
