annexing to the 'Oraany principality, but he was repulsed
by the Benu-^UttAb with great loss, including his younger
brother, Hamed-bin-Sultan, and several of his principal
officers.
It was either immediately before or after the overthrow of
'Abdallah-bin-Sufld, in 1819, that Battal-el-Mutairy came
from Nejd to el-Bereimy with a large body of cavalry, in
tending probably to assume an independent position at that
important frontier fortress. Acting under the orders of the
Seyyid Said, Muhammad-bin-Nasir and Suwailim-bin-Salim,
the Wali of Nakhl, surrounded the invaders, who not only
capitulated and agreed to raze the fort, but also took service
with the Seyyid, for we find Battal-el-Mutairy and his fol
lowers fighting bravely by his side in the affair of the Benu-
Abi-^Aly, which occurred shortly after.
In the mean time, as we learn from the cotemporary annals
of the Bombay Government, " a British expedition sailed
from Bombay, under the command of General Keir, about
the end of 1819, and, with the cooperation of the Imaum of
Muscat, [the Seyyid Said], destroyed or captured all the
vessels and the principal strongholds of the piratical chief
tains. The dread inspired by the success of the British
arms in the reduction of Ras-ool-khyma, led to the more
powerful Arab sheikhs sending offers of unqualified submis
sion to General Keir. On the 8th of January, 1820, a
general treaty of peace was concluded with nearly all the
chiefs of the maritime Arabs in the Gulf, the provisions of
which have since been more or less respected. m
British aid, not exclusively on his behalf, was afforded to
the Seyyid Said towards the end of the following year. It
appears that Muhammad-bin-'Aly, the chief of the Benu-
Hdsan and Benu-'Abi-'Aly, two affiliated tribes settled not
far from the coast of Jaalan, having abjured the creed of the
1 Precis regarding Muscat and its Relations with the Wahahee Power,
p. 7.
