country. Invites Shaikh Sultan to Deriah, and detains and
imprisons him. Shaikh Sultan contrives to escape from
prison, and, finding his way to Yemen, embarks at Mocha,
and proceeds to Muskat. The Imaum takes him to Shargah r
and places him over the Joasmee Tribe at that place,
Shaikh Sultan occasionally living at Lingah.
The British Government, determining to relieve the Imaum
from the power of the Wahabees, and to suppress their
piracies, despatch an expedition to the Gulf.
Ras-ool-Khyma, vigorously attacked by sea and land, is
taken, after a bloody resistance. The town, with the vessels
in port, amounting to upwards of fifty, with the English
prize ship Minerva, burnt.
The expedition then proceeds to Lingah, and destroys twenty
Dows; thence, after passing Congoon, Bunder Mullim,
and Homeram, to Luft. The town is soon occupied, but

The pirates reappear in the beginning of this year, and
destroy several large Native craft, belonging to Bussora
and Congoon. Boats carrying British colours do not
escape, and others are detained at Porebunder, and pre
vented from prosecuting their mercantile pursuits.
An expedition by the Imaum against Ras -ool-Khyma, with
the view of reinstating Sultan bin Suggur, fails.
A second expedition this year, for a similar purpose, ter
minates in a peace concluded between the Imaum of Muskat
and the Joasmees, to which Shaikh Suggur is compelled to
become a party.
The Joasmees commit many depredations upon the Indian
trade, and insult the British flag, by plundering and retain-
ing a boat, despatched by the British Resident on the
faith of an engagement entered into early in the year 1814,
