tfade and pilgrim routes ; and his name is remembered at the present day
as that of the only Amir who ever pursued the Al Morrah tribe in
their own country with any measure of success. It is stated, however,
that the condition of the Wahhabi troops, when they finally brought the
AI Morrah to bay in the Jafurah desert, was such that the Amir had to
be satisfied with a merely nominal settlement.
The total annual revenue of the Wahhabi dominions, including Hasa,
was computed item by item in 1865 at over 1800,000 of which about
six-sevenths were derived from the settled population.

With peace and order prevailing at home and a revenue sufficient for
the needs of Government, i1> was natural that the energies of the

Wa.ihabi Amir should take an outward direction, and that the proceed
ings of the Wahhabis abroad should become more aggressive than they

xelating to Bahrain, the Amir Faisal again wrote, somewhat ambi
guously, that " in accordance with treaties between the Wahhabi Amir
and the Sultan Abdul Majid, there are matters which everyone is
precluded from meddling with, unless on special grounds." These
periodical declarations show that the Amir was not averse, when it suited
his interest, to admit dependence on the Porte; and the Turks, on their
part, clearly asserted their suzerainty over the Wahhabis. An illustration
of the Turkish claims was afforded by a protest, lodged by the
