chiefs of the defeated "'Utub took refuge on this occasion at Zubarab,
and others at Kuwait, to which last place Saiyid Sultan apparently
pursued them. At his departure the Saiyid left his youthful
son Salim, with whom he associated a reliable adviser, in charg-e of his
interests in Bahrain ; but the position of the "'Omanis there was precarious,
and in 1801, not long after the sailing of the Saiyid's fleet, they were
invested in 'Arad by the 'Utub and compelled to surrender and to
evacuate Bahrain.

in Bahrain and successfully engaged the 'Utub ; but the latter had now
secured the support of the Wahhabis, whose outposts by this time
threatened the land frontiers of the 'Oman Sultanate; and in these
circumstances the ruler of Masqat seems to have found it expedient to
abandon his enterprise and return home.
