Hasa with his followers. Muhammad-bin- 'Abdullah, the head ol the
whole combination was outmanoeuvred and gave himself up. Shaikh
'Isa-bin-'Ali came over from Qatar, where he was residing, and was
installed as ruler without interference on the part of the British Resident,
amid every sign of popular rejoicing. Captain Douglas received some
contusions by the explosion of a mine, but he was not serioush
injured
The three captured Shaikhs and two other ringleaders were deported Treatment^
to India, where they were at first confined in the fort of Asirgarh, and an( i compen-
subsequently in the fort of Chunar. Nasir- bin-Ahmad died at Chunar ^on^of
in 1873, and Muhammad -bin-'Abdullah in 1877 ; and the remaining
three prisoners were then removed to Aden, where in 1880 t^o of them
were released.
An arrangement was made with bhaikh Tsa, at his accession, that
the property of the ringleaders should be forfeited and the proceeds
applied to the relief of the innocent sufferers by the invasion. The
payment of this indemnity continued by instalments until 18/6, when it
was completed.
Connection of the Wahhabis with, the invasion.
It was at first suspected that the Wahhabi H over,,merit were par-
tiallv responsible for these ruinous disturbances in Bahrain, and a state
ment obtained currency that the Baui Hajir had at first refused to act
without the authorisation of the Amir, which Msir-bm u ara
accordingly obtained by a visit to Riyadh ; but the Government o ,
as we have seen, declined to hold the Wahhabi Amir respons.ble without
fuller proof of his complicity and information as to the degree ot is
control over Hasa. The event proved the wisdom of this decision, or
the Amir subsequently wrote to the Resident disclaiming connection
with the outrage; aud, his guilt not being clear, it was ultimately foun
sufficient to remind him that the invasion haxl been made from his tern-
torv, where also Nasir-hin- M ubarak had afterwards taken refuge and
much of the plunder of Bahrain had been deposited, and to request,
without the addition of any threat, that he would prevent in future such
outrasreB as that which had occurred.
