principal Egyptian officials there were still as ignorant of the geography
of the country as if they had never left Cairo.
Partial withdrawal of the Egyptian troops, 1819,
Gradually it became apparent that a complete occupation of Najd
could not be maintained by the Egyptian forces, whose communications
between post and post were maintained with difficulty on account of the
hostility and increasing audacity of the Bedouin tribes, especially the
^Ajman and the Sa^adah *
About June 1819 it was resolved to make over to tribal representatives
the whole of the country to the east and south of Qasim, and the process
of evacuation was witnessed by Captain Sadleir of His Majesty's 47th
Regiment, who accompanied the rearguard of the retiring forces, and
whose mission to Ibrahim

on behalf of the Government of India
is described in the history of Trucial 'Oman. The Kashif of Hasa, to
whose column, consisting of about 250 troops with 600 transport camels,
Captain Sadleir attached himself, had prepared for his departure by extort
ing about 1,000,000 piastres from the inhabitants of Hasa; and, when he
left, he installed the Shaikhs of the Bani Khalid as the representatives of
the Turkish Government in Hasa. These Shaikhs were the hereditary
foes of the Wahhabis, by whom their power had been previously over
thrown, and it seems to have been hoped that they would continue to
remit the annual tribute of Hasa to 'Anaizah in Qasim, where it was
intended to maintain an Egyptian garrison.
The usual line followed by the Turks between Hasa and Qasim lay by
Sulaimiyah in Kharj, and the Kashif gave out that he intended to move by
this route; but on the second day's march, fearing lest he should be attacked
by the Sa'adah, who had recently been giving trouble near Sulaimiyah,
he altered his course and made for the wells of Rumahin 'Urmah, where,
according to his arrangements, the Sulaimiyah detachment, consisting of
50 to 100 cavalry, ought to have joined him. They did not appear
however,t being then shut up in their post by Bedouins; and the Kashif
was obliged to proceed to Manfuhah, where he arrived on the 3rd of August
y id Banban, and to despatch half of his own escort to extricate them.
* The Sa'adah, though separately mentioned by the historian in this connection,
were probably the sub-section bo named of the 'Ajman.
t 1 he reason of this is instructive. Ibrahim
Pasha
An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders.
, in ordering the withdrawal of
the Sulaimiyah detachment, directed the officer in command first to destroy four
obnoxious Shaikhs of Dilam, who had hitherto been treated as friends of the Egyptians ;
being unable to effect this by force, the official invited the Shaikhs to an entertainment,
at which he caused them to be murdered ; he was then himself immediately besieged.
