reac erous Ka'ab Shaikh, who baa formerly promised the Turks that he
would not help the Persians but who had now changed his mind in view
of a possible sack of Basrah, slipped up the river from below the towu to

and the "Eagle" having ultimately captured a Gallivat apiece, the prize
of the former was burned iu the river, while that of the latter was

winch the Persians had thrown up on the banks of the river made it
impossible lor the British squadron to attack them, after arrival there
with any chance of success. '
