The Egyptians continued the bullying policy of their predecessors the
Wahhabis, towards the Saiyid of Masqat; and they even used some of the
same agents for the purpose, especially Sa'ad-Bine-Mutlaq and a certain
Bin-Battal. The Saiyid was at first inclined to attach himself to the
Egyptians, through whom he hoped to obtain possession of Bahrain :
but later he adopted the views of the Government of India and conducted
his correspendence with the Egyptians according to the advice of the British
political authorities. The reconciliation between the Saiyid and his kinsman
Hamud, effected by British intervention in 1839, had reference to the
Egyptian danger; and the ruler of 'Oman, in the treaty which resulted
bound himself to assist Hamud, who was a stanch opponent of Muhammad

Egyptian forces. The Shaikh of Kuwait gave this Egyptian officer the

details will be found in the history of Kuwait.

The uncompromising opposition of the British Government to the
more ambitious and distant designs of the Egyptians was seconded by the
difficulties in which the latter »oon found themselves involved with the
inhabitants of the countries actually in their occupation; and early in
1840 a retrograde movement of their forces commenced. The Egyptian
governor of Hasa was shot and killed by Arabs in the vicinity of Hofuf,
and it was found necessary to recall a small force which he had des
patched against the Naim of Qatar. The attitude of the 'Ajman
tribe, whose principal Shaikh had been imprisoned by the Egyptians but
contrived to escape from their custody, was bitterly hostile. Communi
