of Qatar, matters a claim which the Al Tham Shaikh maintained to possession
1881-1890. 0 f Khor-al-'Odaid in Ahu Dhabi territory was partly responsible*
but the scene of action was at all times so remote from the more populous
part of Trucial 'Oman, that we have preferred to treat of the operations
in connection with Qatar affairs rather than in the history of Truoial
'Oman. The scare of an invasion from Central Arabia in 1888, already
mentioned, was perhaps only a stratagem by which Shaikh Jasim sought to
bring about an alliance of the other Trucial Shaikhs against his enemy Zaid.
Relations of Trucial 'Oman with the Turkish Governmoiit, 1853-92,
Odaid affairs, described at length in the separate history of the Abu
Dhabi principality, gave opportunities for interference in Trucial 'Oman
of which the Turks did not neglect to avail themselves. In 1874 the
Shaikh of Abu Dhabi complained that the local Turkish officials in Qatar
had written to him on the subject of 'Odaid, denying his authority
there; in 1875 the Turkish flag was apparently sometimes flown at
J Odaid ; and there is no doubt that a small tribute to Turkey was paid
by the 'Odaid colonists between 1873 and 1876. In 1878 the Porte
claimed 'Odaid as a Turkish possession and protested against operations
for the repression of piracy which had been undertaken there by the
British authorities a few months before. Final]v, in 1889, the Wali of
Basrah addressed the Shaikh of Abu Dhabi, urging him to submit
his differences with the Shaikh of Dohah in Qatar to Turkish arbitra
tion ; but the suggestion was declined under British advice.
