Early in 1872 the Amir Sa'ud appeared in the neighbourhood of
Kuwait with a force greatly distressed for provisions and threatened to
plunder the town unless his necessities were relieved ; but the Shaikh^ after
judiciously enticing his principal supporters away from his camp, attacked
him, and he fled accompanied by only 15 followers.
The Turks had now for some time been in negotiation with Sa'tid, and
they had offered to recognise his authority on condition that he should
admit his subordination to the Porte, relinquish his authority upon the
coast, pay the same tribute as his father Faisal, indemnify the Turks for
the cost of their operations in Hasa, and send two of his sons to reside as
hostages at Baghdad. After his reverse at Kuwait, finding himself reduced
to the utmost straits, the Amir wrote to Haji Ahmad Khan of BQshehr,

, Wali of Baghdad, the Haji arrived in HaSa in September 187"2.
The Amir Sa'ud, who distrusted the intentions both of his brother 'Abdul
lah and of the Turks, refused to leave the district of Kharj, where he
then was, and a personal meeting became impossible; but there appeared
in Ilasa, to represent him, his brother 'Abdur Rahman and a certain
Fahad-hin-Suwaitan, whom he had appointed to be his agent in Hasa.
'Abdur Rahman was conducted by Haji Ahmad Khan to Baghdad and
was there detained as a hostage j nor did Fahad experience better treat
ment, for in February 1873 he was arrested on a change of intrigue,
thrown into irons, and sent after 'Abdur Rahman to Baghdad.
The position of Sa'ud at length showed signs of improvement: the
seizure by the Turks of a leading 'Ajman Shaikh brought many recruits to
his standard j he defeated 'Abdullah in Kharj and shut him up in Riyadh ;
and finally he took the capital, while 'Abdullah fled to the neighbourhood
of Kuwait, or, according to another account, found an asylum among the
western Bedouins of the Jabal Shammar principality.* 'Abdullah Was
