that he could restrain his brother most effectually if he reskled in
Bahrain, the ex-Shaikh Muhammad was permitted by the British
authorities to return home; but he at once engaged in a course of
intrigues which necessitated his deportation to Kuwait. From Kuwait
the ex-Shaikh removed to Qatif, where he settled down and entered into
communications of sinister meaning with his relation Nasir-bin-
Mubarak—a grandson of the late ex-Shaikh 'Abdullah—whose mother
was a woman of the Bani Hajir Bedouin tribe.
Invasion of Bahrain and death of Shaikh 'Ali, 1869.
In August or September 1869, Muhammad-bin-Khalifah and Nasir-
bin-Mubarak crossed over from the mainland in nine boats, accompanied
by about 500 men of the Bani Hajir, and, landing in Bahrain, marched
to Rifa'-ash-Sharqi, which was held in the name of Shaikh 'Ali by
Muhammad-bin- 5 Abdullah, the chief who in 1861 had been expelled by
the British from Dammam. A battle then took place, in which,
owing mainly to treachery on the part of Muhammad-bin-'Abdul
lah, Shaikh 'Ali was defeated by the invaders, and was killed on the field
along with one of his sons. The usui*ping chiefs, over whom Muham-
mad-bin-'Abdullah appears to have acquired an immediate ascendancv,
then occupied the towns of M^anamah and Muharracj j but thev were
unable to restrain their rabble of Bedouins, and the former place was
plundered. 1 he amount of the damage done at Manamah, in which
Biitish Indian subjects suffered equally with others, was never clearlv
ascertained; but claims were afterwards registered to the amount of
