Hshed on Ras Tanurah. The trouble taken by Her Majesty's Govern
ment was not altogether thrown away, for there was now a brief cessation
of piracy, and, when outrages recommenced, some attempt was made by
the Turks to deal with the pirates on land.
In the pearl fishing seasons of 1891 and 1892 piratical offences abound
ed once more on the coast of Hasa. On the 18th of June 1891 a gang
of 14 men, believed to be Bani Hajir, boarded a Slm'ai lying at Saihat, killed
one of the crew, and threw the others into the sea; Turkish troops were
apparently sent in pursuit of the raiders. The same gang then attacked
another boat, which, after killing one of the crew, they completely
stripped; and a Turkish gunboat went to search for them, but they
could not be found. In July a Qatif Shu'ai was boarded by 18 Ban
Hajir near 'Oqair, one of the crew was wounded, all property on board
and the gear of the vessel herself were taken, and two slaves and a
cousin of the Nakhuda were carried away ; in this case a Turkish mili
tary detachment turned out, but effected nothing. On the 20th of
August, 16 Bani Hajir took possession of a Shu'ai from Tahiri, a place on
the Persian coast, with cargo for Bahrain and plundered her of goods to the
value of Rs. 2,495, which they landed at Dohat-as-Salwa; the Turks in
this case took no action. In the next year, on the 1st of May 1892, a
Bahrain boat putting into Darin on the way to Qatif was pillaged by
three Bedouins. On the 21st of May two Qatif Shu'ais were seized by
Bani Fajir ; but one was recovered, after pursuit of the pirates, by
Muhammad-bin--'Abdul Wahhab, a notable of Qatif. On the6th of June
a gang of 25 Bani Hajir seized a

at Qatif and plundered a
Qatif vessel of her cargo and gear besides Rs. 1,300 in msh ; an armed
boat was sent after the pirates by the Turks, but failed to come up with
them. Finally, in September, a party of Bani Hajir Bedouins attacked
a boat from Hasineh on the Persian coast while beached at Qatif,
killed the Nakhuda, wounded two of the crew and carried off $700 ;
in this instance Turkish troops went in pursuit and captured 10 of the
robbers, but none of the booty was recoveied. In 1892 a boat containing
20 Turkish soldiers was detailed by the authorities at Qatif to convoy
boats passing between that place and Bahrain j but even after this some
petty piracies occurred and went unpunished.
"With a view to the restoration of order it was proposed in 1891 by
Colonel Talbot, Resident in the
Persian Gulf
