BENIYAS.
and fled to Biddah in 1822, having effected a reconciliation with Shaikh
Tahnoon, left the latter place, and returned to their old residence in the
Beniyas capital.
In July 1828 two Bahrein Buggarahs and one Koweit Buteel were
captured near the former place, by some of the Beniyas Tribe. These
vessels were, however, subsequently recovered, and restored to their
owners; but the pirates, making their escape into the interior, avoided
the punishment they so well deserved.
In September 1S28 a boat, manned principally by people of the Beniyas
Tribe, under the command of an inhabitant of Bahrein, named Obed bin
Mohunnah, proceeded over to the Persian Coast, for the purpose of
cruising, but their leader having been seized while landing at Zeerab,
a small village on the Persian Coast, they returned to the Arabian side
of the Gulf. On their way back they fell in with four Aseeloo boats,
near Seei Beniyas, which they plundered ; and afterwards proceeded to
the neighbourhood of Aboothabee, to which place the sufferers likewise
hastened, to lay their complaints before Shaikh Tahnoon, who behaved
on this occasion in a very creditable manner, having afforded them such
compensation for the aggression committed as fully satisfied them.
Hostilities having again broken out in February 1829 between Shaikh
a d 1829 Tahnoon and the Joasmee Chief, Aboothabee,
the capital of the former, was at one time re
duced to very great distress, by the blockade maintained by Shaikh
Sultan. Both parties, however, felt the inconvenience of carrying on
war during the season of the pearl fishing, and at length a peace was
concluded between the belligerents in the month of June 1829, through
the good offices of Shaikh Mahomed bin Guzeeb, the Governor of
Lingah.
The Imaum of Muskat and the Shaikh of Bahrein having dropped
further hostilities, and entered into amicable relations with each other,
Shaikh Tahnoon, as the ostensible ally of His Highness, was admitted
as a member of the treaty of peace concluded in December 1829,
although no act of hostility had ever been displayed towards him by
the Uttoobees.
The Beniyas Shaikh appears to have remained quiet till the begin-
, . ning of 1831, when, on the occasion of the

Imaum declaring war a second time against nis
relation Humood bin Azan of Sohar, he sent down a number of men to
Muskat, with an offer of their services in the approaching contest.
Whether suspicious of the Shaikh's fidelity, from observing the invari
able ill success which attended all the operations in which a share was
borne by the Beniyas Tribe, or from some other cause, is uncertain,
but all his proffers were peremptorily rejected by His Highness. Irn-
