ment of India, but tlie insubordination which his attempts
had evoked broke out into a serious insurrection among the
tribes of el-Batinah. In this emergency the Seyyid Thu-
wainy is reported to have called on the W ahhaby Aniir for
aid, and Faisal lost no time in sending a force to Sharjah,
under the command of his son 'Abdallah. It appears, how

three hundred, I believe), into his own personal service and
guard. On these terms the treaty was ratified by either party,
and 'Abd-Allah and his troops finally evacuated the land,
