number of persons,the rest closing their offices and
shops for fear of their lives and taking refuge in

man o'war arrived at Bahrein with the Resident for
Bushire on board;and he made inquiries and returned
Bushire. It was not long afterward that a ileet of
British ships visited the place and landed guns and
soldiers who surrounded and plundered the house of
Sheikh All bin Ahmed (one of the Sheikh's relatisms T
and of his employe's and,in view of their politics,
declared him to be guilty and expelled him to Bombay.
