Kbarj, Hautah, Hariq and Aflaj and disposed of the 'Ajman, Dawasir
and A1 Morrali tribes. In this year another attack by the Wahhabis
upon the Turks was apprehended, and alarming rumours were ciiv
culated, perhaps by friends of the Muntafik tribe, who were then
in rebellion in 'Iraq; but nothing occurred to justify the general
expectation of trouble.
In 1879 a new claimant of the Wahhabi Amirship appeared in the
person of 'Abdullah, a son of the former Amir 'Abdullah-bin-Thanaiyan.
This individual, who had resided at Basrah since 1876, now undertook a
journey to Constantinople with the object of obtaining for himself a grant
of Najd and Hasa from the Porte in consideration of tribute and fealty,
or at least of recovering his share of the property of the A1 Sa'ud in
Hasa, which the Turkish authorities had confiscated. On his way down
the Gulf in October 1879, 'Abdullah-bin--'Abdullah called upon Colonel
Ross, the British Resident at Bushehr, and sought to impress on him the
advantages which would result to the Turks from his appointment; and
he suggested at the same time that he should be supported in his
proposals by the British Ambassador at Constantinople. From Jiddah.
where he had an interview with Mr. Zohrab, the British Consul,
'Abdullah-bin-'Abdullah again wrote to Colonel Ross, pointing out
how his scheme might benefit British and Turkish interests and
hinting at the advisability of a British money loan to himself. 'Abdullah
then visited Cairo, where he saw Mr. Malet, the British Consul, and
in July he waited on the British Vice-Consul at Damascus. The
British Government, however, decided to have nothing to do with
'Abdullah's application to the Porte; and, after his arrival at Con
stantinople in August 1880, nothing further was heard of him or of
his proceedings.
In 1881 the Amir 'Abdullah was still in possession of Riyadh, where
from time to time he was visited in a friendly manner by his nephew
Muhammad; and some 'Ajman chiefs, who were discontented with
Turkish rule and refused to reside in Hasa, maintained personal relations
with him.
