maintenance of order there was withdrawn during the season 1829.
By the apparent indifference of the British authorities Shaikh
'Abdullah was brought to a more reasonable frame of mind; and
at length, on the 2nd of December 1829, by the intermediacy of Shaikh
Muhammad-bin-Nasir of Bushehr, a peace was concluded between the
belligerents. The principal conditions were that tribute should not in
future be paid by Bahrain to Masqat, and that neither ruler should hence
forward interfere in the affairs of the - other; but a verbal
agreement was added by which the parties bound themselves to aid
one another in case of an attack upon either by a third party. Shaikh
Tahnun of Abu Dhabi was admitted to the benefits of this peace; but the
rebellious A1 Bu Samait of Bahrain were, on the demand of the 'Atbi
Shaikh, specifically excluded.

demand for payment oiZakat and of compensation to the amount of
$40,000 on account of horses left under the charge of Shaikh 'Abdullah
by the Wahhabis many years before, and for cession of the fort of
ammam upon the coast of Hasa; at Dammam they proposed to locate
as ir, a son of Rahmah-bm-Jabir, the former deadly enemy of the 'Utub
of Bahrain. The Shaikhs of Bahrain endeavoured to obtain the interven-
tion of the British authorities in their favour; but, failing in this and
