  • On 15 June 1858, 21 Christian residents of Jeddah, which was then an Ottoman town of 5,000 predominantly Muslim inhabitants, were massacred, including the French consul M. Eveillard and his wife, and the British vice-consul Stephen Page, by "some hundreds of Hadramites, inhabitants of Southern Arabia". 24 others, mostly Greeks, some "under British protection" plus the daughter of the French consul Elise Eveillard and the French interpreter M. Emerat, both badly wounded, escaped and took refuge, some by swimming to it, in the steam paddle wheel frigate HMS Cyclops. Whereas The Church of England quarterly review (1858) suggested there could be a vague connection to the British suppression of the Indian Rebellion of 1857–1859, and The Spectator wrote that "A Sheik from Delhi is said to have instigated the massacre", the Perth Gazette of 22 October 1858 extensively quoted an interview in the Moniteur of M. Emerat, the French dragoman (interpreter) and chancellor. According to him, the events were provoked by a commercial dispute which ended by the rehoisting of the British flag on an Indian ship and the hauling down of the Ottoman one, which provoked a riot. He added that the "agitators" actually resented the presence of non-Muslims "whose presence, in their eyes, defiled the sacred soil of the Hejaz". The massacre was discussed in the British House of Commons on 12 and 22 July 1858. According to The Church Review (1859), the Jeddah population of about 5,000 was "often much increased by the influx of strangers", "the inhabitants are nearly all foreigners, or settlers from other parts of Arabia".

  • Jeddahmassakern 1858 ägde rum den 15 juni 1858 i staden Jeddah på den arabiska halvön, som då tillhörde osmanska riket, då 21 kristna invånare mördades av hundratals muslimska . Bland offren fanns den brittiske vicekonsuln Stephen Page och den franske konsuln M. Eveillard och hans hustru, vars dotter Elise Eveillard och tolk M. Emerat tillhörde de 24 överlevande flyktingar efter massakern, som sårades och lyckades simma ut till fartyget HMS Cyclops. De flesta av de mördade var kristna greker och levantiner, många under brittiskt beskydd. Barn till de mördade blev i åtminstone ett fall tillfångatagna och sålda på slavmarknaden. (sv)
