instructed to ask the Turkish Wali of Basrah that the offending township
should be punished, and to make an offer of British naval assistance.
About the same time H.M.S. a Vulture," Commander Pringle, succeeded
in capturing fifteen piratical vessels of the 'Amair off Qatif and three
vessels and four boats belonging to the Bani Hajir, two of which ^ere
prizes from Bahrain, in the waters to the south of Qatif. All these craft

to the coast of Hasa by the Turkish Ministry of Marine, had both broken

by H.M.S. " Vulture," and matters had to some extent quieted down.
