At this juncture an attack was made by a Wahhabi force on Saham
m Batmah, and the British Indian traders residing there were driven
into the sea, one of them being drowned. The result of Colonel
Pelly and Captain Pasley's deliberations was a demand made by letter
on the Wahhabi Amir for a written apology in regard to the Sur affair,
for a written assurance that in future such outrages would be prevented,
and for payment of compensation, to the extent of 127,000, on account
of property lost or destroyed; and it was added that, if in seventeen
days from the delivery of the letter to the Wahhabi Governor of Qatif
the required satisfaction had not been afforded, the Wahhabi forts
on the seaboard would be destroyed, and the craft in their harbours
confiscated. Colonel Pelly was prevented, by the necessity of sustaining
with his presence the courage of the Sultan of 'Oman, who was to
make an attack on the Wahhabi post at Baraimi, from himself accom-

the 2nd of February and then, the period of grace having expired,
proceeded to carry out the threats conveyed in the ultimatum by sending
armed boats to Qatif under Lieutenant Fellowes ; these demolished the
