the agreement was addressed by the Resident both to the Shaikh of
Bahrain and to the Egyptian commander, but the case had no further
developments ; and in the following year, on the departure of the Egyp
tians from Hasa, the agreement ceased to be of any practical importance.
These matters are treated of at greater length in the history of Bahrain.
In Trucial 'Oman, likewise, the British authorities were obliged to
take precautions against encroachment by the Egyptians. Sa ; ad-bin-

obtain the submission of the principal Shaikhs to the titular Amir
Khalid. Sa'ad arrived at Sharjah in March 1839 and was received with
distinction by the Qasimi Shaikh, who provided him with a rOBidence.
With him came a detachment of Wahhabi soldiers, whom he wished to
place in Baraimi; but the NVim, who held the Baraimi fort at.this time
and enjoyed the support of Saiyid Hamud of Sohar, would not agree to
admit them; and Sa'ad, though he induced the Shaikh of Abu Dhabi to
support his demand, was not in a position to coerce the fort-holders.
Meanwhile a British political officer had visited the coast with Admiral
Sir P. Maitland, and the Shaikhs of the Trucial ports had promised not
to help, but on the contrary to resist, the Egyptian agent in his intri-
gu-ea ; nevertheless, after the departure of the fleet, the Shaikhs of Sharjah
and Abu Dhabi Wgan to compete with each other for the agent's favour.
In Trucial 'Oman, as in Bahrain, an impression seems to have prevailed
that the Egyptians were invincible on terra fir ma. In July 1839 the
British Resident visited the coast and obtained from each ruling chief a
written engagement to support British and oppose Egvptian policy ; he
took steps, through the Shaikh of Sharjah, to bring about the expulsion
of Sa'ad-bin-Mutlaq from the country ; and he encouraged the Na'im of
Baraimi to stand lirm, at the same time causing the Egyptian agent to be
informed that the Na'im had been taken under British protection. Com
pletely foiled in his purpose by these measures, Sa'ad-bin-Mutlaq embark
ed at Sharjah for 'Oqair, where, after carrying off 400 sheep with other
property from the island of Qais, he arrived in due course ; but he had
apparently forfeited the confidence of his Egyptian employers, for soon
after his return, he was placed under surveillance and removed to Riyadh.
In connection with these events the chief man of Qatif received warning
that an expedition by sea from Ilasa against any part of the 'Oman coast
would be opposed by the British naval force in the Gulf; and in January
1 84-0 the Resident paid a second visit to the coast of Trucial 'Oman,
where at Ajman he arranged a defensive alliance against all enemies
