greatly inflamed by losses, including a chief, suffered by
in attempts to enforce their demands ; and the mediatm of the Wahhabi
Amir failed to appease the strife. It resulted from this feud that m 1832
the 'Amair boarded a Bahrain veseel near Qatif and put to death i i out
of 30 natives of that town whom they found on board, and that in
1833 with the connivance of the 'Utub of Bahrain, they established
themselves at Dammam, blockaded Qatif, and began to prey upon its
commerce.
Emboldened by these disorders the Shaikhs of Bahrain in 1S33
renounced their allegiance to the Wahhabi Amir, and the Wahhabi
Governor of Qatif, apparently considering the situation of his master
to be desperate, sought their protection; but, by the energy of
Turki -bin-'Abdullah, the dangers which threatened his authority in Hasa
were temporarily surmounted, and Zakat was collected, possibly ioi the
first time, from the inhabitants of the Hasa coast.
In 1834 the Bahrain Shaikh blockaded the Wahhabi ports of Qatif
and 'Oqair, and, on the assassination of Turki-bin- Abdullah, annexed the
island of Tarut to Bahrain, besides instigating the Bani Khalid to attack
the Wahhabis in Hofuf, and Qatif ; but the movement on Hofuf was
frustrated by 'Umr-bin-Ufaisan, the Wahhabi Governor, with great lose
to his assailants, and the insurgent Bani Khalid were driven to seek
refuge under the guns of the Bahrain garrison on Tarut.
About the middle of 1835 there arrived at Masqat from Makkah, a
respectable merchant formerly of Bahrain, named ^ Abdullah -bin-Mashari,
who brought with him letters from Ahmad
Pasha
An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders.
, the Egyptian Governor
of Hijaz, addressed to the Saiyid of 'Oman, the Shaikh of Bahrain and
the Wahhabi Amir; the purport of the credentials was that the bearer
had been granted a farm of the revenues of Qatif for $20,000 to $24,000
per annum by the Egyptian Government, and that he should be allowed
to assume and exercise his authority as lessee without opposition. It is
probable that the object of the Egyptians in making this appointment was
to prepare the way for a reconquest of Najd from the west by creating
embarrassments on the Wahhabi Amir's eastern border, "'Abdullah-bin-
Mashari was courteously received by Saiyid Sa'id, who provided him with
a Batil to carry him from Masqat to Qatif ; but Faisal-bin-Turki, who
had in the meantime removed his father's murderer, the usurper of the
Wahhabi Amirate, sent a body of troops to defend his rights at Qatif,
and the would-be tax-gatherer disappeared from that place very soon after
his arrival. Ihe sons of Bin-Mashari were subsequently found to have
procured letteis of recommendatiou from the
Government of Bombay
From c. 1668-1858, the East India Company’s administration in the city of Bombay [Mumbai] and western India. From 1858-1947, a subdivision of the British Raj. It was responsible for British relations with the Gulf and Red Sea regions.
