Final defeat

habis, 183U.
954
as the Wathabi Amir, who now professed allegiance and paid tribute to
the Egyptians, was soon at war with the Bani Khalid, it is improbable
that money from Hasa can for long have continued to reach the
Egyptian exchequer. The Bani Khalid made Hofuf their capital, and
held possession besides of the seaport of Qatif. Hostilities between
the Wahhabis and the Bani Khalid began about 1824, but until 1880
the results were inconclusive.
At the beginning of 1830 the Bani Khalid Shaikhs took the initiative
by marching with a large body of their tribe upon Najd, and Faisal-
bin-iurki, the son of the W ahhabi Amir, moved out from Riyadh to
meet them. At this juncture the Bani Khalid had the misfortune to lose
their best military leader in the person of Shaikh Majid, who was taken
ill and died; and the command ol the forces devolved, with the consent
of Majid's brother, the aged Shaikh Muhammad, who was conscious of
his own incapacity, upon Barghash, a nephew of Muhammad. The new
leader, after some delay, advanced against the Wahhabis who fell back
before hmi; but hardly had he done so when Turki-bin-''Abdullah, the
Wahhabi Amir, who had left Riyadh in person on the night of the 23rd
Maich 1830 at the head of l,20u men, succeeded in passing round one
of iiis flanks and seized W abrah,* the base of his operations and the source
of his water supply, which he had left unguarded in the rear. The Bani
Khalid thus found themselves cut off from water and placed between two
f the enemy, who, after allowing a day to pass, attacked them
u Pun both sides, completely routing them and capturing
the whole of their women, children, tents, horses, camels and cattle. The
iaiks Muhammad and Barghash escaped in safety to Hofuf, where for
a short time they prolonged their resistance; but, on the majority of the
