During this period not a single serious infringement of the maritime
peace by Bahrain subjects was reported.
In the summer of 1821 the Bahrain islands were ravaged by Cholera.
Four thousand persons, it was said, perished.

With regard to Bahrain the Agreement laid down that the islands

had always been subordinate to the Government of Fars, against whose
authority the 'Atbi Shaikhs had lately become rebellious ; that the flag
assigned to the 'Utub of Bahrain under the General Treaty of Peace with
Britain in 1820 should accordingly, if already granted, be withdrawn;
that no assistance should in future be rendered by Britain to the ' Utub
of Bahrain ; and that, on the contrary, the British Government should,
if requested, assist the Persians against Bahrain with " one or two 33
vessels of war. In other words the title of Persia to possession of
Bahrain was explicitly admitted. Captain Bruce, in accepting these
conditions, appears to have been actuated by a belief that a demonstration
against Bahrain, which the

contemplate, would probably be successful; and he held that, in any case,
" the Island of Bahrain reverting again under the authority of Persia
" will tend more to the tranquillity of the Arabian side of tihe Gulf than
" almost any other act, and will at once do away with the petty acts of
" aggression and retaliation existing between the different branches of
" the Beni Attabee Arabs."
The views of the Resident were not shared by the Government of
Bombay, who ftt once, in clear and emphatic terms, disavowed to the
Government of Vars the action of their representative at Bushehr, and, as
a further mark of their disapprobation, removed Captain Bruce from his
