to pay them $2,000 a year as tribute, on condition that there should be
no interference in the administration of Bahrain and that no Egyptian
representative should be stationed in the principality; his chief
motives for his action, which was highly displeasing to the British
authorities, appear to have been the desire to escape from an anxious
