introduction
ruled conjointly for some time, and reoccupied el-Bereimy.
Mr. Palgrave, however, makes Turky the son and successor
of ^Abdallah-bin-Suud, (see note, p. 345), as does also Lieut.
Hennell, who, in his paper on the Wahhabis in the Bomhay
Government Selections, (Vol. xxiv. p. 437), expressly styles
him " Toorkey-bin-Abdoola, commonly known by the name
of Toorkey-bin-Saood." Tiirky, who had been taken pri
soner by Ibrahim Pasha An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders. in 1819, effected his escape the year
after, and commenced hostilities against the Benu-Khalid,
who had been established at el-Hasa and el-Katif by the
Egyptians. Before the end of 1824 he succeeded in re

to el-Bereimy he rebuilt that fortress, and excused himself
to the Seyyid Said for his raid into 'Oman.
In 1828 the Seyyid made another attempt to reduce el-
Bahrein, and, according to a paragraph in the official Precis

sending messengers to Riyadh on that errand. Moreover,
" he is alleged, not only to have acknowledged the supremacy
of the Wahabee chief, but to have intimated his readiness to
pay the Zulcat, or tithe, levied from his followers;" further,
that ff the Wahabee chief turned the overtures of the Imaum
[the Seyyid Said] to his own account, and offered the Utto-
bee chief in possession of Bahrein the alternative of war or
submission. The latter was accepted and the whole of the
Arabian coast became tributary to the Wahabees in a short
time." No allusion whatever is made in the published
