Egypt, a puppet named Kl.Slid was set up by the Egyptians m Ins place.
Ha«a was immediately occupied, the Wahhabi governor ot that province,
'Umr -bin-'Ufaisan, taking refuge in Bahrain; and designs upon the
Bahrain principality itself were shortly disclosed by successive demands
on the Shaikh, preferred in the name of the Amir Khalid, for payment
of tribute at the former rate, for rendition of Tarut Island and the
fort of Dammam, and for the surrender of 'Umr-bin-'Ufaisan. Mean
while emissaries of the Egyptians were engaged, in the Bahrain Islands
as also in more distant places, in collecting supplies for the use of their
troops.
The Indian Government, who were not indifferent to these events,
directed their Resident in the Gulf to use all his influence to check the
encroachments of the Egyptians; but in the absence of instructions
from London they hesitated to adopt a decided line, and they felt
themselves unable to hold out any definite pledge of assistance to the
Shaikh of Bahrain, who now sought one. Captain Hennell, the
Political Hesident, in reply to a question by the Shaikh of Bahrain,
consequently informed him, apparently in March 1839, that he could give
no opinion as to the expediency of the Shaikh's sending a member of
his family to wait upon Khurshul

himself must be judge of the matter.
Shaikh 'Abdullah, who was much alarmed by the proceedings of the
Egyptians and perhaps even more so by a rumour, apparently well-founded,
that the Saiyid of ■'Oman was intriguing with the Egyptians to obtain
and hold Bahrain as a fief under the Viceroy of Egypt, professed, in
reply to the demands made on him in the name Khalid, to be a subject
of the Persian Government.
For the purpose of substantiating this statement, probably at the
nominee's own suggestion, the

of Shiraz shortly sent an
envoy in the person of a certain Haji Qasim to reside in Bahrain. This
individual had formerly been the supercargo of a trading vessel, but now
he was the bearer of a letter and a, robe of honour for the chief of Bahrain
and was escorted by a guard of 10 Persian infantry. His mission was a
failure from every point of view, especially from that of his principals,
who had somehow been led to suppose that the Shaikh of Bahrain was
ready to pay an annual tribute in return for their countenance and
protection.
