More than once between 1845 and 1854 the attention of the British Piracy by
authorities was attracted to the coast of Hasa by the misdeeds of Hamaid- Majdaf
bin-Majdal, a member of tlie ' A mair section of the Bani Khalid tribe, and his
who, as related elsewhere, combined with the Shaikh of Bahrain against 1845-1.850.'
the AA ahhabis in 1845 aud in 1847 transferred his support to the other
side* Early in 1845, Hamaid, who had broken with a part of his tribe,
had forsaken his usual residence on Abu 'Ali Island, and was already in
the service of the Shaikh of Bahrain, seized a Baqarah belonging to
Kharag as she was entering the port of Qatif with a cargo of wheat
from Hig and carried her to Abu 'Ali Island; the crew, after being
despoiled of all their property, were allowed to make their way home in
their empty vessel. The damages were estimated at 1,500 Muhammad

; and it was reported that Hamaid-bin-Majdal, on being
warned that the goods he was plundering belonged to a person under
British protection, merely laughed and asked " Who are the English ? ' s

not be tolerated; and in May 1845 the Resident deputed his Assistant,

attended by serious difficulties of navigation ; and Hamaid, who seems to
have believed his island inaccessible, replied insolently to the first summons
to submit ; but, when morning broke, he found himself surrounded bv
the boats of the squadron and hastened to apologise. He was obliged to
surrender his

In the summer of 1846 the Wahhabi Governor of Qatif had the British naval
