three men wounded. On the 4th of February, at high water, Lieutenant
Long renewed the attempt on Dammam and plied the fort with shot, shell
and rockets ; but the range was excessive and no breach could be effected
On the 9th of February the "Highflyer" rejoined Colonel Pelly at
Masqat, and operations were carried out on the 11th and 12th with
eminent success, against the Jannabah tribe of Sur. The orders of the
Government of India not to demand compensation from the Wahhabi
Amir were at length received by Colonel Pelly, and the " Highflyer'- left
the Gulf for Bombay.
Colonel Pelly next proceeded to Elphinstone Inlet and was there
awaiting news of the capture of Earaimi by the Sultan of 'Oman, when,
on the 20th or 21st of February, he suddenly received intelligence of the
violent death of ^aiyid Ihuwaini with attendant circumstances by
which the 'Omani operations against Baraimi were at once brought to a
standstill. Almost simultaneously two letters from the Wahhabi Amir
reached the Resident. In one of these, dated the 28th of January,
Abdullah accepted the proposal made to his father some months earlier
that Colonel Pelly should mediate in the dispute between the Amir and the
Sultan of Oman; and in the other, which was a reply to the British
ultimatum, Abdullah stated that he desired a consultation and would

at Sur, but that it was incumbent on himself, the Amir, to recover
compensation from them.
Soon afterwards a A\ahhabi envoy named Muhammad-bin-'Abdullah-
bin-Manah arrived at Bushehr with definite proposals of peace; and
Colonel 1 elly, on his return to that place on the 21st of April, gave him
an interview. A written declaration was taken from the envoy, in
which, on behalf of the Amir 'Abdullah, he expressed a desire for peace,
assured the Resident that British subjects would be protected in the
^ ahhabi dominions, and promised that, beyond collecting the tribute
established by ancient custom, the "Wahhabis would not in future
inteifere with Arab principalities in alliance with the British Government,
in paitieular the Sultanate of 'Oman. These terms having been duly
submitted to the Government of India, the Resident under their orders
informed 'Abdullah-bin-Faisal, in a letter which he handed to the
em o y> that the British Government did not wish to intervene or to
become the guaiantor of any agreement which might be formed between
th^ Amir and the Sultan, but that they had authorised the Resident to
jse bis good offices in arranging the details of a settlement. It transpired,
