to the Sultan of Turkey,—acts of submission which the Egyptians pro
bably intended should be disavowed at the first convenient opportunity,—
and was appointed in return Turkish Wali of Central Arabia. The
Egyptian troops by whom Khalid's power was supported received no pay
and became discontented; moreover they were regarded with intense
jealousy by the Arabs of the country, who considered that a Wahhabi
Amir should rely on the swords of his fellow-countrymen alone.
In October 1841, notwithstanding these difficulties, the Amir Khalid
descended to Hasa and appeared to be contemplating an expedition
against ''Oman; his proceedings drew remonstrances from the British
authorities and occasioned the despatch of a British officer to Hofuf, as
will be related further on.
The Amir's ideas of foreign conquest, however, if he entertained such,
were speedily dispelled by an insurrection at home, headed by his distant
relative 'Abdullah-bin-Thanaiyan, whose cause was supported by Turki-
al-HTzani, one of the leading Shaikhs of the Kharj district in Najd.
This rival, finding himself suspected by Khalid, at first fled to Kuwait;
but in September 1841 he returned to Central Arabia, took possession
apparently of Dhrumah, Hair and Manfuhah in 'Aridh, and provided
himself with the sinews of war by confiscating the estates of two wealthy
inhabitants of those places, who were opposed to him and whom he
executed. The Sahul and other tribes attached themselves to his cause; and
he was able to secure the neutrality, if not the support, of the important
tribes of the'Ajman, Al Morrah and Sabai'; but the ; Anizah, Mutair
and Bani Hajir still followed the Amir Khalid. In December 1841
^Abdullah found himself in a position to threaten Riyadh, but was
repulsed in a skirmish; he had, however, an influential body of supporters
in the town itself, who, on the very day of his defeat, admitted him by the
southern gate after dusk and proclaimed him Amir of Najd. The leaders
of Khalid's army fell into his hands, and he put three of them to death;
but he spared the life of a resolute individual named 'Umr-bin-' , Ufaisan,
probably the same who had governed Hasa under the ex-Amir Faisal.
The Amir Khalid escajDed to Hasa and undertook, as he had done once
before, to dismiss the Egyptian troops whose presence was offensive to
bis leading supporters; but again he failed to observe his promise, and the
people of Hofuf then tendered their allegiance to' Ab dullah-biu-Thanaiyan.
Khalid found himself obliged to flee to Qatif, where he was rejoined
by his troops; but here too the popular feeling was strongly adverse to
him ; his partisans deserted him; and, after dismissing his mercenaries, he
took refuge at Dam mam with Mubarak, a son of the Shaikh of Bahrain.
