take possession of Bahrain. The scheme, in itself not unpromising, was
frustrated by some of the ; Amair, into whose hands part of Shaikh
'Abdullah's correspondence fell and by whom it was carried to 'Ali, a
brother of Shaikh Muhammad, in Bahrain. In the result, the ex-Shaikh
found himself confronted, before he had reached Qatif, by the Bahrain
fleet in battle array; and he had some difficulty in escaping- capture
by them.
Hostilities between Bahrain and the Wahhabis, and the blockade by
the former of the Hasa coast, continued throughout 1846 without
advantage on either side. In September 1846 the ex-chief of Bahrain
reappeared and settled in Hasa, first near Dammam and then on Tarut,
Island, with the result that the blockade, which had been temporarily
relaxed, again became more strict, and that two engagements took place
on the mainland, in one of which the Wahhabi governor was victorious,
in the other the Shaikh of Bahrain ; the ex-Shaikh "'Abdullah, however,
did not himself take part in any of these proceedings. In October 1846
the Wahhabi official was desirous of calling some of the Shaikhs of
Trucial ''Oman to his aid and sought permission to do so from the British
Resident at Bushehr, and in November the Shaikh of Bahrain applied to
the same authority for leave to form an alliance with the Shaikh of
Dibai; but both requests were, as usual, refused.
Early in 1847 the situation was changed by the action of Hamaid-
bin-Majdal and his 'Amiiir, who seceded from the party of Shaikh
Muhammad and attached themselves to the Wahhabis; and in August of
the same year a settlement was arranged, under which the Amir Faisal
undertook not to encourage the ex-chief of Bahrain further, even though
' o
the latter should continue to reside in Hasa, while Shaikh Muhammad
bound himself to pay tribute to the W ahhabis at the rate of
84,000 a year.
Relations of Bahrain with Persia during the same period,
1843-49.
Beyond the intrigues of Persian agents and officials in favour of the
ex-S aikh'Abdullah, especially in 1843-44 and 1846, which have been
recounted above, there is nothing to be noticed in the relations of Persia
with Bahrain at this time,
