for the purpose from Bushehr, in reducing by artillery fire the \\ ahhabi
port of Qatif. Kahmah profited by his good understanding with the
Egyptians to settle again at Dammam, where he at once began to rebuild
the fort destroyed by the Wahhabis two years before. At the end of
1818 a large force of Arabs from the Pirate Coast arrived at Qatif in 1?
war-vessels to assist the Wahhabis against the Egyptians ; but they
were too late, and returned peacefully via Bahrain.

Majesty's 47th Regiment arrived off the coast of Hasa; but an ignorant
Bushehri pilot ran the Hon'ble Company's cruiser " Vestal, on which
he was a passenger, upon a sandbank, and there she remained fast duiing
the night. The Egyptian authorities on shore were slow to render assist

day the " Vestal " was brought safely into Qatii harbour with
the morning tide by two intelligent pilots whom Rahmah sent.
Captain Sadleir had intended to make 'Oqair the point of his departure
for the interior, but he allowed himself to be dissuaded by Rahmah and
the Egyptian sub-governor of Qatif, and on Monday the 21st he landed
at Saihat, towards the southern end of the Qatif Oasis. This change
of plan, for which he cannot be blamed, probably cost him some valuable
days, and so may have contributed to the failure of his mission.
At the time of Captain Sadleir ; s arrival, the Egyptians, having
found it necessary to concentrate their forces in Arabia, were about to
evacuate Hasa. Khalil Agha, the Egyptian sub-governor of Qatif, had
already received orders to return with two subordinates to Hofuf,
making over his charge to Mushrif, a nephew of Shaikh Muhammad, the
head of the Bani Khalid; the roads between Qatif and Hofuf were
unsafe; and attacks on Egyptian convoys between Hofuf and the
