means agree—obtained permission to coerce them by naval means after a
fixed date, the A1 Bin-^Ali and the A1 Bu 'Ainain being* on their part
set free to fight with him after the same; but the Shaikh, at heart
reluctant to embark on a war which would almost necessarily involve him
in hostilities with the Shaikh of Abu Dhabi, hoped to induce the
British Government to put pressure on the seceders to return; and, before
the arrival of the decisive day, he offered, through the British
Resident at Bushehr, to let them come back to Qatar. A British
war vessel was then placed at his disposal to convey him or his
accredited agent to Abu Dhabi for the purpose of negotiating on
this basis; but at the last Shaikh "'Abdullah refused to make any
arrangement with the rebels unless it were guaranteed by the
British Government, a condition to which the British authorities could
not agree. War was accordingly declared. Both parties had already been
informed that their operations must be conducted within the Restrictive
Line.
In the troubles which ensued the people of Bahrain appear to have
been tlie heavier losers, and in 1839 the merchants of the principality
invoked the good offices of the British Resident for bringing the contest
to an end by a reconciliation ; but the Assistant Resident, who was
deputed for the purpose to the Arabian coast, found that the parties
would not agree to any settlement without a g-uarantee by the British
(Government, which he was not authorised to afford.
Meanwhile, however, a friendly correspondence had been opened between
the Shaikh of Bahrain and the Shaikh of Abu Dhabi, the latter of whom
was dissatisfied with the conduct of 'Isa-bin-Tarif and had already
required him either to leave the country or to settle down as a law-abiding
citizen j and an offensive and defensive alliance was shortly afterwards
concluded between the Shaikhs with especial reference to the presence
of Egyptian forces in Hasa, by which the independence of Bahrain was
threatened. The result was that 'Isa-bin-Tarif decided to seek, after
the pearl fishery of 1839, an asylum elsewhere than at Abu Dhabi, and
consented, in the meanwhile, to a suspension of hostilities.
