In the confusion following the murder of the Amir Turki in 1834,
the Shaikh of Bahrain found opportunity to annex the island
of Tarut, which belonged to the Wahhabis. In 1835 an attempt to
recover the island was made by the force which Faisal despatched to eject
the Egpptian customs farmer from Qatif ; but the endeavour failed, and
the Shaikh of Bahrain resumed the maritime blockade of Qatif, which he
had meanwhile suspended. In 1836 efforts were made by the Wahhabi
agent in Bahrain, under instructions from his master, to induce the Saiyid
of Masqat and some of the tribes of the Arabian coast to attack Bahrain
by sea in the interest of the Wahhabis ; but the ruler of 'Oman replied
that he could not join in such an enterprise without the knowledge and
consent of the British Government, and this project, too, came to nothing.
Very soon afterwards a reconciliation took place between the Wahhabi
Amir and the Shaikh of Bahrain, who were now both in danger, the
^mer from the designs of the Egyptians and the latter from those of the
Persia^ Government; and the result was a treaty by which the Shaikh
pledged liimself to pay a tribute of $2,000 a year to the Amir, while
Faisal on his ^art undertook to protect Bahrain from external aggres
sion, and not to demand help from the Shaikh of Bahrain in case he
should himself proceed against the Saiyid of 'Oman. In 1888, after
putting to death three chiefs of the 'Amair Bani Khalid, supporters of the
Egyptians who were now rapidly advancing towards Hasa, the Wahhabi
Governor of that province, 'Umr-bin-'Ufaisan, took refuge with the
Shaikh of Bahrain.
An attempt by the M ahhabis in 1836 to draw the Saiyid of Masqat
into operations against Bahrain upon their own side has already been
noticed above. In the same year, the town of Sohar in Batinah having
fallen into the hands of Hamud, a rebel belonging to his own family, the
Saiyid obtained help from Sa'ad-bin-M\itlaq, the Wahhabi representative
in Oman, who, it was arranged, should operate against the place by land
