In March or April of 1843 the town of Manamah passed into the
possession of a brother of Shaikh Muhammad, not without the connivance
of the inhabitants, who remembered with bitterness the conduct of
Shaikh 'Abdullah's Bedouins in the previous year ; and shortly after
wards 'Isa bin-Tarif and Bashir-bin-Rahmah arrived in Bahrain with
a lar^e force.
1 n April the allies attacked Muharraq town, the seat of Shaikh
'Abdullah, and obliged him to take refuge in " a small fort, situated
at no great distance from the town"—possibly that of Halat Abu
ISlahur — where, finding himself completely invested, he capitulated ;
and the fort of 'Arad, held by his suns, then also surrendered at discretion.
The sons of "Abdullah taken prisoners at 'Arad remained, with the
consent of the victor, in Bahrain ; but the Shaikh himself, to whom
his captors allowed only one Batil and one Ghunchah for the conveyance
of his family, dependents and property, took his departure for Dammflm,
That place, the sole remnant of his possessions, was now governed by
Shaikh 'Abdullah's son Mubarak.
