the part of some of the garrison, Faisal succeeded in entering the fort by
night; and Mashari with 20 of his associates was put to the sword. One
of the assistants of 1' aisal in this enterprise, and the actual slayer, it
w as said, of Mashari, was Abdullah-bin-'Ali, Ibn-Rashid, whom the
Amir soon after appointed Mahfudh or warden on his behalf of Jabal
Shammar, and who thus became the founder of the present ruling family
of Northern ^N aja. Faisal at once obtained general recognition as Amir
of the Wahhabis ; his age at the time was about 40 years.
Muhammad AU of Egypt was not satisfied with the nominal
suzerainty to which the progress of events had reduced his authority
in Najd, and shorlty after the accession of Faisal he took measures to
re-assert his power. The first step was the appointment of a Bahrain
merchant as customs farmer of the Wahhabi port of Qatlf in Hasa, by

as related in the history of Hasa, obliged the Egyptian nominee to take a
hasty departure from Qatif. In 1836, a large Egyptian force having in

brother instead to present some horses and his excuses. It was believed,
moreover, that Faisal had secretly sent help to the opponents of the

replace I aisal by a more subservient Amir, and for this purpose he rel OJ i se d

making good his claims, which had, it would appear, some supporters
among the people of Najd. Alarmed by these preparations Faisal sent
messengers and submissive letters to the

late. In 1837, supported by an Egyptian force of 1,000 to 1 ,500
cavalry and 500 infantry with 12 guns and 4 mortars, Khalid occupied
Qasim and defeated Faisal in the nighbourhood of Riyadh • and the
Amir, when he fell back upon his capital, found that the fort had been
occupied in his absence by some of his rival's adherents. The military
command in Najd was then assumed by Khurshid
