were deported to Hail; Hasan-bin-Mahanna, Amir of Buraidah^ was
captured iji the desert and imprisoned at Hail; the towns of 'Anaizah
and Bnraidah surrendered ; Rass, Shaqrah and even Riyadh sent depu
tations to the victor to treat for peace; 'Abdur Rahman, Ibn-Sa'ud,
sought a refuge in Bahrain ; and the Sham mar Amir placed a governor
of his own in charge of Qasim.
A little later Ibn-Kashid's governor of Kharj, after plundering a
pilgrim caravan, was killed in an attack upon the 'Ajman tribe, and
'Abdur Rahman profited by the opportunity to re-occupy Kharj and
Riyadh ; but he was soon surprised and totally defeated by the Shammar
Amir, who caused the fortifications of Riyadh to be levelled with the
ground by the forced labour of the inhabitants, destroyed half of
the date plantations, and laid the castle-palace of the Wahhabi Amirs
in ruins. The war was now over. All Central Arabia owned the sway
of Ibn-Rashid, and the A1 Sa'ud had become a band of homeless
wanderers.
'Abdur Rahman at first joined the Bedouins of Hasa, among whom
he sojourned in constant fear of capture by the adherents of the
Shammar Amir; from August to November 1893 he lived in Qatar
under the protection of the Shaikh of Dohah, being joined there by
his family from Bahrain; and finally, in November 1892, at the invita
tion of the Turkish Wali of Basrah, he settled down in Hasa on a pension
of £T33 a month, granted him by the Porte.
