slowly resumed. The initiative seems to have been taken by the Saiyid,
who in 1831 despatched an embassy with presents to Riyadh to request
the assistance of the Amir in reducing Bahrain^—a proceeding that Turki
turned to his own advantage in order to extort submission and tribute
from the Shaikh of Bahrain. In 1833 the direct pressure of the
Wahhabis was felt once more in the ^Oman Sultanate, and in that year
the ruler of Masqat was obliged to come to an understanding with the
W ahhabi general, Sa'ad-bin- Mutlaq, the principal terms of the settlement
being that the Saiyid should pay $5,000 a year as Zakat or tribute to
the Amir, and that either party should assist the other in suppressing
rebellions among his subjects. The latter clause of the agreement
was deemed imprudent by the British authorities ; but the Saiyid assured
them that he would be guided, in his observance of it, entirely by their
wishes.

in India were restricted to one simple incident. About the middle

Amir through the Shaikh of 'Ajman ; it expressed his desire " to have
the treaty renewed which was made between you, the British, and
Imam Sa ud. On receipt of this communication, search was made in
the archives of the Bombay Government for a treaty with the Wahhabis •
but none could be found; and eventually an answer in general but
friendly terms was transmitted to the Amir through the British Resident
