doubt its expediency; but a satisfactory assurance was elicited from the
Amir, that be entertained no designs upon 'Oman; and incidentally
some new and interesting geographical information was recorded by
Lieutenant Jopp on bis journey from 'Oqair to Hofuf and from Hofuf
to Qatif in November 1841.*
'ABDULLAH-BIN-THANAIYAN.
1842-43.
Internal affairs; 1842-43.
prereotaii:
The rule of tlie successful rebel, 'Abdullah-bin-Thanaiyan, was brief
ant troubled. Id Hasa the severity of his taxation soon estranged the
inhabitants, who had in the beginning generally supported his cause;
and a number of the Bedouin tribes on that side continued to be hostile
to his authority. The ex-Amir Khalid at first threatened an attack
from Qasim; and in March 1843 the ex-Amir Faisal, who had in
fact regained his freedom, appeared in that district and at once became an
even more formidable danger. In June 1843 Paisal marched south-
wards unopposed and besieged 'Abdullah in the citadel of Riyadh, to
which he had retired with a few followers, and 'Abdullah was quickly
obliged to surrender at discretion. Faisal had at first offered to associate
the ex-Amir Khalid with himself in his operations ; but that helpless
individual, who had now withdrawn to Madinah, refused to join him
aud so vanished from the page of history. Valuable assistance was
given to Faisal m his operations by 'Abdullah-bin--'Ali, his loyal
Mahfudh of Jabal Shammar.
Relations with Bahrain, 1842-43.
In 1842, a breach having occurred between the joint Shaikhs of
Bahrain, the younger, Muhammad-bin-Khalifah , was expelled from the
Bombay Selections X.XTV, pages 111-115. Lieutenant Jopp was apparently
the far*t European to travel between 'Oqair and Hofuf by any, and between Hofuf and
Vjatit by the ordinary route.
