Proceedings of Rahmah-bin-Jabir, 1818-26.
After his re-establishment at Dammam in 1818 during the Egyptian
occupation of Hasa, Rahmah-bin-Jabir began to harass the 'Utub of
Bahrain with increased success ; and so disturbing to the general peace
was this maritime struggle that between 1822 and 1824, as related in the
histoiy of Bahrain, the British political authorities constantly tried
to arrange matters between the parties. At length in February 1824?, as
described in the history of Bahrain, a peace was concluded, of which
one condition was that Rahmah should not interfere to prevent the
punishment by the Shaikhs of Bahrain of the refractory Al Bu Samait
tribe, who had recently settled under his protection at Dammam.
Rahmah then paid a visit to Masqat; and, on his return to
Dammam, he proceeded to blockade Qatif, of which place the inhabitants
had recently ceased to pay him tribute, or rather blackmail, for the
protection of their commerce at sea. Rahmah was at this time approach
ing seventy years of age, and ill-fortune had made havoc of his
material resources ; but he was animated by a spirit as haughty and
indomitable as ever. On the Shaikh of Bushehr proceeding, under
the orders of the Shiraz Government who were piqued at the reconcilia
tion between Rahmah and the 'Utub of Bahrain, to detain the family of
one of his sons, Rahmah about June 1824 sought permission of the
British authorities to declare war against the Shaikh ; but the incident
Was eventually settled by the release of the prisoners at the instance of
the Resident and their return to Dammam. Meanwhile, whether by
