For a time it appeared probable that the Egyptian commandei' would
attempt to extend his conquests so as to include both Bahrain and 'Oman,
and the proeeeding-s on the part of the British Government to which this
anticipation gave rise are described at length in the histories of Trucial
'Oman and Bahrain; but in the end no actual movement was made by him
in either of these directions, and the submission tendered by the Shaikh of
Bahrain to the Egyptians early in 1839 was consequently gratuitous
and unnecessary. In 1839, during the Egyptian occupation of Hasa, an
expedition, consisting partly of Egyptian troops and partly of Bani Hajir
of the Makhadhdhabah division, was despatched from Hofuf against the
Nairn of Qatar who had refused to pay tribute ; but the assassination of
Muhammad E ffend i, the Egyptian Governor of Hasa, by some Arabs in
the vicinity of Hofuf necessitated its recall.

in Najd was one of great and increase
ing difficulty. The hostility of the country people made it difficult for
him to provision his posts or to keep open his communications; four
armed vessels with military stores, which he expected on the coast of
llasa from the Red Sea, did not arrive, and their place was ill-supplied
by a Kuwait boat which in November 1839 brought a single cargo of
ammunition ; it gradually became clear that the reduction of Bahrain,

finally his master, Muhammad 'Ali of Egypt, had begun to reganl
Ins successes with jealousy and dislike. In the circumstances a general
retirement became necessary; and in Hasa, the first district to be eva-
ouated, it seems to have been carried into effect in April or May 1840.
The last act of the Egyptians in Hasa was the cxecntion of Barghash, a
Shaikh of the AI Humaid section of the Bani Khalid, who they were
reported to have put to death in revenge for the shooting of their
Governor, Muhammad Effendi. At the time of the withdrawal of the
■gyptian troops, the blockade of the ports of Qatif, Saihat and 'Oqair,
which they held upon the coast, had begun to be seriously contemplated
by the British Government.
